Judges considered the nature, scale and scope of the work carried out, and a special emphasis was placed on successful integration of any Local or National Government Energy Efficiency schemes in the nominee's projects. The work was judged on:
•    the impact it has had within the local community
•    what the customers and local community have to say about the council
•    what level of expertise the council has within its own teams
•    what priority the council gives to tackling fuel poverty within its current plans

Ceredigion was also highly commended in the Regional Vulnerable Customer Support Organisation of the Year category. This category, sponsored by Consumer Energy Solutions, recognised a true commitment to improving the lives of vulnerable people through energy efficiency within its region.

The Council has been delivering the Local Authority ECO Flexible Eligibility scheme for several years. The scheme has helped households reduce their energy bills, tackle fuel poverty and reduce carbon emissions through the installation of heating systems, solar photovoltaic panels and associated insulation measures. This has improved the energy efficiency and thermal comfort of many Ceredigion homes and has been vital during the cost of living and energy crisis. 

Councillor Matthew Vaux is the Cabinet Member responsible for the Housing Service. He said: “This award is a testament to the hard work of the Energy Efficiency team. Residents have benefitted from the savings and the extra comfort of better insulated homes throughout Ceredigion. If you think you could benefit from the scheme, please don't hesitate to get in touch with our award-winning team.”
