At E.ON we’re working hard to help people become more energy efficient by helping them to better understand and manage their energy usage.
We’ve installed over 350,000 cavity wall and loft installation measures since 2006 as well as energy efficient boilers and smart meters to help customers manage their energy more efficiently. Last year only, we gave away four million energy-saving light bulbs and helped 200,000 people to insulate their homes.
We offer advice and support to older people through our EnergyRight programme which we run in partnership with Age Concern and have a number of community and education programmes to help our customers and non-customers better understand and manage their energy usage.
We offer advice online and have also been taking our Winter Advice Bureau into city centres across the UK.This year, we’ll be making affordable solar panels a reality for UK homes and will soon launch a new initiative to show families and businesses how to take the next step to energy fitness.
To keep our own house in order, we’ve reduced the amount of carbon we emit per unit of electricity we generate by 35% since 1990. We want to go a lot further in the next twenty years by reducing it by another 50%.
