SHDF wave 2.1
contracts exceed £100m

The milestone comes eight months after the Government allocated its latest round of SHDF funding, a total of £778m that is predicted to improve the energy performance of 90,000 homes.
Our contracts will include the PAS2035-compliant retrofit of a range of energy efficiency measures in 4,590 properties across the UK, adding to the 2,037 social housing properties so far retrofitted.
The new SHDF Wave 2.1 contracts include 600 homes on behalf of Settle, which involved early engagement to support Settle’s funding bid as well as work to build a PAS2030-compliant supply chain for swift mobilisation.
The new contracts also include retrofit work for 434 properties on behalf of Stonewater following a self-funded pilot retrofit programme, which was delivered last year.
All SHDF Wave 2.1 contracts will see Wates take a fabric-first approach to improve property efficiency in line with Government targets for all social housing to achieve Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) C by 2030.
Our new SHDF pipeline builds on the Group’s continued work in social housing retrofit, which to-date has seen the business complete a total of 19 projects, collectively valued at £46m.
Since launching its PAS2035 social housing retrofit service, We’ve retrofitted 2,037 social housing properties, 1,000 of which have been completed this year. These include over 300 homes on behalf of Northampton Partnership Homes through SHDF Demonstrator and Wave 1 funding.
