Energy Efficiency Awards (2019)

Highly Commended for Vulnerable Customer Support 

Previously known as the Green Deal & ECO Awards, the Energy Efficiency Awards were set up in 2014 to help motivate the energy efficiency sector in their delivery of the Green Deal Finance Initiative and Energy Company Obligation Scheme. The aim of the awards is to provide public recognition for the excellent work being undertaken within the sector to implement these, and other energy efficiency schemes. They help establish and encourage best practice among energy-related industries as they work to improve UK housing stock, and tackle energy issues facing householders.

June 2019 saw ALIenergy's Affordable Warmth team being highly commended for its work under the Vulnerable Customer Support Campaigner award category.
