Leicester-based housing group LHA–ASRA has signed a contract with Nationwide Solar which will see energy bills slashed for hundreds of residents. 

Nationwide Solar was appointed through the Efficiency East Midlands (EEM) framework to fit rooftop photo voltaic solar panels to LHA-ASRA homes across the region. The project is being financed by LHA-ASRA, and is made possible by the government’s Feed-In Tariffs (FITs) initiative. 

LHA-ASRA’s ownBedeIslandheadquarters has already been equipped with the photo voltaic solar panels and the roll out to the group’sEast Midlandsproperties has already begun. .

“Installing photo voltaic solar panels will save residents between £85 and £200 a year on their electricity bills, depending on usage and the size of roof,” said Emily Braham, LHA-ASRA’s business development manager.
