£34 million to improve Welsh homes energy efficiency
£34 million of European funding is to be used by the Welsh Assembly Government to improve energy efficiency in existing homes.
It is the first time European funding will be used to support investments in energy efficiency and renewable energy generation measures.
The funding will be targeted at those living in Wales' most deprived communities and will help cut carbon emissions and fuel bills as well as providing a major boost to support green jobs in Wales.
It will also contribute to the Assembly Government's commitment to cut annual emissions by 3 per cent a year from 2011.
Deputy Minister Ieuan Wyn Jones said: "Making homes more energy efficient is a key part in our ambitions to reduce Wales’ carbon footprint."
"I am delighted that for the first time we will be able to use European funding to help those who most need it make their homes more energy efficient."
