We remain committed to being an innovative leader in energy management. Doing this allows us to save energy, protect the environment and help our customers save money.
Warm Wales was set up by National Grid in 2004 to help develop energy efficiency measures in fuel poor homes. To date, more than 30,000 households have benefitted from energy efficiency measures. This has generated £50 million ($77 million) in lifetime energy savings, and achieved an annual carbon saving of more than 8,100 tonnes per year; the equivalent of removing 1,928 cars each doing 12,000 miles a year from UK roads.
For the past 20 years, we have been running highly successful energy efficiency programmes in the US. Programmes such as home energy audits, high efficiency heating and appliance rebates, and commercial lighting retrofits have helped customers reduce their electricity consumption by more than 32 billion kilowatt hours and gas consumption by more than 70 million therms.
