RENPOWER

Support for Homeowners Feeling the Pressure of Rising Energy Costs

Renpower supports homeowners on lower incomes, including those who may not qualify for full grant supports but are still struggling with rising bills.

We help you reduce energy costs now and plan step-by-step home improvements , at a pace and budget that works for you.

If you want to make small savings this year and prepare gradually for future upgrades, we provide clear, practical guidance to help you move forward with confidence.

Who is Renpower for?

Designed for the “Squeezed Middle”

Renpower focuses on supporting homeowners:

feeling the impact of rising energy costs
who may not qualify for fully funded schemes but still struggle with high bills
unsure how to afford energy upgrades
who want to improve comfort but need a realistic, staged approach

If you feel caught between increasing costs and limited supports, this project was designed with you in mind.

How Renpower Works

A Practical, Step-by-Step Approach

Step 1 – Create Immediate Savings

We begin with practical actions that lower your energy use straight away:

Smarter energy habits
Moving to an energy tariff that works for your household’s usage pattern
Immediate, practical savings

For many households, even modest changes can ease monthly pressure and help create savings for future renovations.

Step 2 – Plan Improvements at a Manageable Pace

When you are ready, we help you understand:

Which upgrades will make the biggest difference
How to phase works over time
What grants or supports may apply to your situation
How to prioritise spending wisely

There is no expectation to do everything at once.

Step 3 – Upgrade with Confidence

If you choose to proceed with renovation works, we support you to:

Understand your renovation pathway
Navigate available grants and financing options
Sequence works correctly
Avoid unnecessary costs
