Clarion Housing Group, a U.K. housing association, published its Climate Transition Plan that outlines a pathway to net zero carbon emissions by 2050.

The plans will focus on three key areas, including retrofitting 42,000 homes with fabric upgrades to improve efficiency; electrifying heating systems for 70,000 homes and moving away from fossil fuels; and delivering 80,000 solar installations to help reduce residents’ energy bills.

The plan outlines how the housing association plans to scale up its program of retrofitting existing homes, drive down embodied carbon in new developments and ensure its operations align with net zero ambitions by decarbonizing its heat networks, fleet and workplaces.

Clarion is committed to reducing carbon emissions and plans to support residents by improving efficiency and cutting energy bills.

The group has already made strides toward its net zero carbon ambitions through efforts such as its partnership with Octopus Energy and The Hill Group to develop the UK’s first affordable rent “Zero Bills” homes, which guarantees zero energy bills for residents for five years.

“As the UK’s largest provider of affordable housing, we have a responsibility to lead by example in addressing the climate crisis. That’s why I’m proud that we’ve published our Climate Transition Plan, setting ambitious targets alongside tangible actions to reduce our environmental impact. Our plan is focused on reducing carbon emissions, but the main objective is to enable healthier, warmer and cheaper homes for our residents, ensuring that they are not left behind in this transition. We are already making strides towards net zero, but we know that transformational change requires collaboration, funding, and shared ambition, and we stand ready to help lead the way,” said Clare Miller, Chief Executive of Clarion Housing Group, in a statement.
