Project Title: Off-Gas Villages – Energy Efficiency Programme (Phase 2 Application)

Project Organisation: Falkirk Council

Technology Type(s): ASHP, Solar PV and Battery Storage

Location(s): Various locations across Falkirk Council

Grant Value: £975,97

Completion Date: March 2024

Project Headline: Clean heating and microgeneration for 100 homes in Falkirk

Project Description:

This project was phase 2 of Falkirk Council's off-gas villages energy efficiency project. This phase of the project installed clean heating and microgeneration to 100 properties across 9 villages in the Falkirk area. The properties varied in size and archetype.

Each property was fitted with an ASHP, solar PV and battery storage. This reduced the carbon emissions from these properties by 95% and reduced energy consumption from the grid. The microgeneration also reduced tenants fuel bills, taking them out of, or away from the risk of, fuel poverty and providing them with more thermal comfort and control of their heating systems.
