What is the LEAP Partnership?
LEAP stands for Local Energy Advice Partnership. It is an initiative developed to help tackle fuel poverty and improve energy efficiency in homes across England. The program brings together local authorities, energy companies, housing associations, and third-sector organisations to deliver tailored energy advice to households and those in need.
The main aims of LEAP are:
- To reduce energy bills for residents by installing energy efficiency measures
- To improve living conditions and health outcomes related to cold, damp homes
- To increase income for residents via benefits checks and tariff switches
- To refer vulnerable households to additional support services
How Does the LEAP Partnership Work?
The LEAP Partnership model is based on cooperation between different organisations that have a shared interest in improving local communities. By working together, they can maximise their resources and expertise.
Local authorities identify neighbourhoods with high levels of fuel poverty. They use their customer data and knowledge of deprived areas to pinpoint priority locations.
Energy suppliers or housing associations fund advisors from partner organisations to provide energy advice door-to-door.
Advisors assess the energy efficiency of homes and provide:
1. Fuel debt advice
2. Smart meter advice
3. Tips to reduce energy use
4. Free energy efficiency installations like LED lights and draught proofing
5. Income maximisation assistance
6. Referrals to other relevant services
7. Help accessing boiler repairs/replacement
8. Help to access appliance replacement
