ALEO LA case studies resource

[ALEO Admin]

ALEO is developing a resource of best-practice case studies, highlighting the successes of local authorities in improving domestic energy efficiency and tackling fuel poverty in England and Wales.

If you know of any work carried out by a local authority that you would like to be included in this resource, please send details to the ALEO National Secretariat: rob.leeson@aleo.org.uk.

These best-practice examples will be kept on file by ALEO to use at short notice in national ALEO press releases and to highlight to government the excellent work of local authority energy officers.

At present, we are particularly interested in examples of local authority projects which fit well with the new flexible eligibility element of the Energy Company Obligation or examples of LA work with a human interest angle on fuel poverty, e.g. examples of work that has helped households in fuel poverty or living in a cold or damp property.

Case study can be brief but should ideally show:
• how the household has been identified
• how they have benefited
• what the role of the local energy officer / council has been

Quotes and photographs are of particular interest, although where individuals are identified this needs to be on the basis of consent.

Any suitable items will also be used as articles in the ALEO magazine.
