Choice Housing confirmed it has made significant investments to improve insulation, replace windows and doors and upgrade heating systems in social homes across NI.
In a statement the firm said: "In recent years we have also examined more innovative approaches to deliver energy savings for our customers. We currently have around 360 Solar PV systems throughout Northern Ireland, generating around 550MWh of renewable electricity and saving over 250,000 tonnes of CO2. This is estimated to save our customers over £40,000 each year on electricity charges. We are also currently discussing opportunities around battery storage to make use of more electricity generated by our Solar PV systems and also to take advantage of different electricity tariffs."

Choice also said it is looking at ways to improve heating controls at communal heating systems and to reduce costs, with trials of new heating controls and heating additives underway.
