Housing provider Amplius, formed from the merger of Longhurst Group and Grand Union Housing Group, is set to invest £41 million to upgrade energy efficiency in nearly 2,000 homes across the Midlands and East of England.
The investment includes £20.3 million in provisional funding from Wave 3 of the Warm Homes Social Housing Fund. The upgrades—covering Northamptonshire, Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, and Lincolnshire—will include insulation, new doors and windows, and low-carbon heating systems to meet at least an EPC rating of C.
This follows Amplius’ previous £16 million investment in Wave 2.1, which improved 750 homes. The latest project will bring the total number of upgraded properties to 2,700.
Amplius is partnering with Morgan Sindall Property Services to deliver the improvements, aligning with broader net-zero goals and efforts to reduce fuel poverty in social housing.
