Customers helped had a range of vulnerabilities which included people with disabilities and serious health conditions, the elderly, families with young children, pregnant women and people in receipt of benefits. More than 4,000 vulnerable customers received support in the company’s energy efficiency schemes.

The energy efficient home improvements installed in all of YES Energy Solutions’ projects will save a total of £46,416,394 on the future lifetime fuel bills of vulnerable people.

Saving disadvantaged customers money on their energy bills has tackled the fuel poverty problem in the Yorkshire and Humberside region that stands at 12.1% of all households, which is above the national average.

YES Energy Solutions were awarded for the amount of Yorkshire residents they helped escape fuel poverty, as well as the safeguards they put in place to ensure home improvements had as little impact as possible.
