The future

Rhea Projects’ future ambition is to build on its role as a trusted partner in tackling fuel poverty and improving energy efficiency across Lancashire. The organisation aims to expand its reach through innovative technologies, enhanced advice services, and stronger partnership working, helping residents across all tenures access warmer, healthier and more affordable homes. By increasing engagement, attracting additional funding, and influencing policy and best practice, Rhea seeks to maximise the positive impact of the CHiL programme for both residents and the environment.

Innovation will be a key driver of future growth. Rhea intends to explore and promote emerging solutions such as battery storage, balcony solar, community energy initiatives, improved ventilation technologies, and smart energy management systems. Alongside technical innovation, the organisation will continue to develop workforce skills and contractor capabilities, ensuring the region has the expertise required to deliver new and evolving energy-efficiency measures while responding to future funding and regulatory requirements.

Rhea is also committed to strengthening the long-term sustainability and effectiveness of the CHiL programme through enhanced data collection, social value measurement, and digital integration. By further developing the CRM platform, improving customer engagement tools, expanding community outreach, and working closely with delivery partners, Rhea aims to create a more efficient, transparent and customer-focused service. Ultimately, its goal is to ensure that every resident has access to the advice, support and energy-saving solutions needed to improve quality of life, reduce energy costs and contribute to a more sustainable future.
