Joan Ruddock, energy and climate change minister, has said London has the potential to stop wasting over £70m on energy bills by insulating lofts and cavity wall.
The London borough of Enfield has the greatest potential to stop wasting energy according to research by the Energy Saving Trust. Residents could collectively save around £4.5m on energy bills by filling their cavity walls and insulating lofts, she said. Barnet and Havering follow closely behind.
In Wandsworth the figure was £1.5m.
The Minister said: “There is a fantastic opportunity for London residents to save money off their energy bills, but often people are unaware of what offers are available to them.
“The Energy Saving Trust provides easy to access advice on grants and initiatives.”
