Nuon stated that an average of 2,050 cubic meters (cbm) of gas per year is required to heat an inadequately insulated house. A well insulated house uses 700cbm of gas. Home insulation can reportedly make a substantial contribution to saving energy and reducing CO2 emissions.

The Rogro Group specializes in roof, floor, facade and cavity wall insulation and comprises five independently operating companies with head offices in Zierikzee, Hertogenbosch, Apeldoorn, Assen and Veendam, all in the Netherlands.

Kjartan Skaugvoll, Nuon’s retail director, said: Insulation is one of the most cost-efficient ways of saving energy. Our experience is that many customers do not realize this. Together with the Rogro Group, Nuon aims to grow strongly in the area of insulation.
