Home – Case Studies – Developing Net Zero Strategy for The Wrekin Housing Group
The Wrekin Housing Group wanted to identify a strategy to move towards net zero carbon across the business.
Potential carbon reduction from 24 ktC02e to 2.7 ktC02e, £57.2m grant access and £1.25m annual energy savings.
The Wrekin Housing Group is a social housing provider with approximately 12,500 domestic properties in its portfolio. In addition to the housing portfolio, it operates 27 sheltered/care home buildings, a large head office and many smaller buildings such as offices, shops, and commercial buildings.
Wrekin wanted to identify a strategy to move towards net zero carbon across the business. To achieve this, it needed to determine ways to reduce carbon and energy use within its buildings and business operations and identify potential funding options to supplement investment budgets.
Anthesis supported The Wrekin Housing Group to develop a net zero strategy that determines realistic decarbonisation strategies across their building and housing stock portfolio.
The project involved modelling multiple decarbonisation scenario timescales and the impacts of changing “business as usual” practices, such as substituting the scheduled replacement of boilers with air source heat pumps.
Anthesis also identified multiple funding opportunities to supplement investment spend, such as ECO funding, the Renewable Heat Incentive and Clean Heat Grant funding.
