Apollo will install photovoltaic panels to 500 properties between mid-January and March 2012, helping Ascham鈥檚 residents reduce their energy bills, and improving the organisation鈥檚 carbon footprint. 聽Ascham plans to install a total of 1000 throughout this programme.
This new contract is one of a number of similar projects being delivered under Apollo鈥檚 EcoFit programme, which has been designed to offer clients an easy access, one stop shop for sustainable property solutions.聽 Current projects include Eastbourne Council鈥檚 Solarbourne renewable energy initiative; solar pv contracts with Glasgow Housing Association and the Metropolitan Housing Partnership; and with Roddons Housing Association in Cambridgeshire, where Apollo helped access funding for the installation work across its properties.
Apollo鈥檚 Divisional Director, Adam Stevens, said: 鈥淲e鈥檙e pleased to be able to add the Ascham project to the programme of work being delivered under our EcoFit service.聽聽 Despite the uncertainty around the Feed in Tariff scheme,聽 many housing providers still recognise that installing microgeneration technologies can help reduce residents鈥� energy bills and alleviate fuel poverty,.鈥�
