Britain’s most energy-efficient areas

New analysis by Searchland has revealed the most energy-efficient areas in Britain.

The study, based on average Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) ratings, saw the City of London and Peterborough top the list with an average EPC score of 76 (C rating), followed by Tower Hamlets, Hackney and a cluster of other London boroughs averaging a C rating. Conversely, several rural and national park areas, such as the Yorkshire Dales and Snowdonia, recorded the lowest energy scores, reflecting the UK’s challenges with older housing stock.

Hugh Gibbs of Searchland said improving energy efficiency in older homes is complex, “True progress will depend not just on developers but also on the willingness of homeowners to upgrade their properties.”
