This funding through Net Zero Fund Management (NZFM) represents a major opportunity to accelerate upgrades that will improve the comfort, energy efficiency, and cost-effectiveness of homes for thousands of tenants.

The Energy Company Obligation (ECO4) and the Great British Insulation Scheme (GBIS) are government-backed initiatives administered by Ofgem, designed to improve the energy efficiency of UK homes, reduce fuel poverty, and support national net-zero goals. Both schemes are currently scheduled to run until 31 March 2026.

Retrofit projects supported by the funding will include insulation, ventilation improvements, and other measures proven to reduce energy use and lower household bills. Procast has already begun allocating funding to current projects and is encouraging social housing providers to express their interest as soon as possible, given the limited window of availability.

David Champan, growth and development manager at Procast Group, said: “This is a significant injection of funding from NZFM that will help us deliver high-quality retrofit solutions at scale.

We offer housing providers solutions that truly make a difference for tenants. Demand is high, and the benefits are immediate. I would encourage any housing associations or local authorities looking to upgrade their stock to get in touch as soon as possible.”

Procast has developed trusted, long-term relationships with social landlords and housing associations through its retrofit, refurbishment, and maintenance work. The business has a strong track record of delivering projects aligned with the UK government’s energy efficiency schemes and broader net-zero strategy.

Grampian Housing Association has already secured over £4 million of the funding. Director of asset management, Alexander Carle, said: “Grampian Housing Association is delighted to be working in partnership with Pro-cast to deliver vital energy efficiency improvements supported by ECO4 funding.

“By installing measures like solar PV and insulation, we’re helping to reduce tenants’ energy bills and make homes warmer, more comfortable, and more sustainable. This is a key step in tackling fuel poverty and supporting our tenants through the cost-of-living crisis”.
