About the Somerset Retrofit Accelerator
The Somerset Retrofit Accelerator project is a partnership between Frome, Bruton and Glastonbury Town Councils, the four District Councils in Somerset, Somerset Independence Plus and the Centre for Sustainable Energy.
The six-month pilot project is funded by the UK Government through the UK Community Renewal Fund.
The project aims to develop the supply chain for low carbon, whole house retrofitting of homes in Somerset through:
- 50 discounted Home Retrofit plans for Somerset households in partnership with Futureproof
- 30 paid places on the Futureproof Essentials course for local construction professionals
- Creating new online resources through a Green Directory for Somerset
- Showcasing low carbon homes through virtual online tours
