An estate of flats in Aberystwyth are set to have their heating bills cut by up to 40% with the addition of new external wall insulation in a bid to make them more energy efficient.
The Penparcau flats are owned by Tai Ceredigion, a housing association. Their chief executive Steve Jones said: "We are delighted to have started the consultation period by showing our tenants and leaseholders the first phase of improvement plans in the Aberystwyth area.
"We hope that all the improvements will help create a more pleasant external environment, with the use of suitable colour mixes, as well as benefiting residents' pockets by providing more affordable warmth."
The work is expected to be carried out over the next six months with the help of £550,000 of funding from the Welsh Assembly Government Arbed programme to help fund their green energy improvement projects in the Regeneration Area on the association's estates in Aberystwyth.
