Hard to Heat homes is a new pilot initiative which has been developed by NIE Energy and DSD in an attempt to reduce the impact of fuel poverty by exploring energy efficiency and renewable energy options for approximately 60 ‘hard to heat’ properties throughout Northern Ireland. The pilot project is identifying alternative energy systems for ‘hard to heat’ homes in addition to a package of energy efficiency measures. The ‘hard to heat’ homes for the programme are expected to be rural, isolated or exposed homes but they will be selected in a way which helps us to ensure that those in most need get our assistance.
