Northern Powergrid has partnered with YES Energy Solutions, a community interest company, to provide zero cost energy advice for homes in its network.

This initiative, funded entirely by Northern Powergrid, offers residents personalised advice on how to reduce their energy bills and prepare their homes for a more sustainable future.

This partnership's expert advisors ensure an average savings of over £500 on yearly energy costs for customers who use the service.

It offers a tiered system that allows residents to select the level of guidance that fits their needs best.

Customers can connect with an energy advisor for an evaluation based on their personal circumstances and property specifics to identify potential savings.

The service also provides the option for deeper assistance, where YES Energy Solutions investigates applicable funding, grant eligibility, potential financial benefits to which households might be entitled, and relevant wellbeing services.
