EDF is the partner that you need to deliver low carbon housing schemes that work for both residents and the environment. We provide an end-to-end solution that covers everything from identifying sources of funding to delivering and certifying zero-carbon electricity and heating solutions.
Our end-to-end service
Whether you're working with existing housing stock or planning an entirely new development, we'll work with you to understand your challenges, access the funding you need, connect your energy supply, retrofit PAS 2035 and ECO4-compliant insulation and install renewable heating solutions.
