Information on the partnership
E.ON shares the Council's desire to see the city thrive in a sustainable way and will be bringing its expertise, knowledge and skills to the partnership.
By working with E.ON, taking advantage of their support and experience, the Council hopes to be able to undertake and achieve a number of projects that would otherwise have been difficult for the Council to undertake by itself.
The four themes driving the partnership
- Clean local energy - This theme is about making sure that Coventry residents have access to clean, locally generated energy. Projects working under this theme will focus on increasing local clean energy generation and affordable clean heating for buildings.
- Jobs and skills - This theme is about making sure that our work provides employment and learning opportunities for Coventry residents from all backgrounds. This will be achieved through partnerships with educational institutions as well as providing hands-on experience for the next generation. Central to this theme is a commitment to equality, diversity, and inclusion.
- Innovation and scale - This theme is about using innovative solutions to tackle issues – e.g. heat loss from homes. Coventry has a history of innovation and a reputation as being at the forefront of the green industrial revolution. Projects working under this theme will aim to build on that reputation.
- Community benefits - This theme is about ensuring that all communities and residents benefit from our work. As part of the partnership, we will engage with vulnerable and hard-to-reach communities to provide them with energy support and advice.
