Welsh Government awards £55m Warm Homes contract
The Welsh Government has agreed a £55m contract to upgrade 6,000 homes as part of its Warm Homes programme.
Lakehouse, the maintenance and energy services contractor, will carry out energy efficiency improvements in homes across Wales where households are likely to be facing severe fuel poverty.
It will deliver the work – known as the Arbed 3 scheme – through Arbed am Byth, a joint venture between its subsidiary Everwarm and the Energy Saving Trust.
The contract will run for three years starting from 30 September, with the option for a two-year extension.

“The successful award of the Arbed 3 contract builds on the excellent work performed by Everwarm and Energy Saving Trust with the Scottish Government’s area based flagship Home Energy Efficiency Programme for Scotland,” said Michael MacMahon, chief operating officer at Lakehouse.
“We look forward to working with Welsh Government in delivering the Arbed 3 programme and are delighted in announcing another strategic landmark for the group’s energy division.”
This is the first time Everwarm has won a contract in Wales.
The Arbed 3 scheme will see households given advice on reducing their bills and data collected on fuel poverty to help target improvement work.
Lakehouse has 2,300 employees at 29 offices across the UK.
