Switch2 Energy and Newport City Homes (NCH) have won a national award for their joint success in tackling fuel poverty. More than 750 homes connected to NCH's Duffryn district heating scheme have halved their energy consumption by using Switch2 Energy's G6 smart energy pay-as-you-go meters.
Previously, residents paid a fixed weekly charge for their heating and hot water, but now they have control over their usage and costs, which allows them to budget better and save money.
The joint project was voted 'Best Initiative to Combat Fuel Poverty' in the Association of Gas Safety Managers (AGSM) Supplier Excellence Awards.
