A leading Community Interest Company, established to tackle fuel poverty and boost environmental efficiency in the North East and Yorkshire and the Humber, has been given a prestigious national award.

Community Energy Solutions (CES), which has offices in Boldon and Leeds, has won a Green Apple Award for Environmental Best Practice in recognition for its work to deliver energy-efficient and affordable warmth measures to communities across both regions.

A £350,000 project to tackle fuel poverty at more than 300 West Yorkshire homes is about to get underway.

The region’s gas distribution company Northern Gas Networks has joined forces with Community interest company Community Energy Solutions (CES), Wakefield and District Housing (WDH) and Wakefield Council to extend the gas network to more than 300 homes that are currently without a gas supply.

This is the third major project carried out by Northern Gas Networks and CES and will see a mix of social and private homes in the Flanshaw area of Wakefield connected to the gas network in time for Christmas.
