In establishing Green Deal, the government has set the conditions to grow the energy efficiency market in Great Britain.
Although still in the early stages, activity so far shows that consumers are being helped to make their homes more efficient. Over 100,000 assessments have been undertaken since January, with latest research suggesting that households find them helpful in reducing their energy consumption.
The latest research on consumer reaction to the Green Deal, ‘Wave Three’, shows:
Energy and Climate Change Minister Greg Barker said: "The research...shows that Green Deal assessments are highly valued by consumers. Crucially, they are helping people to control their energy costs this winter.
"Over 100,000 assessments have been carried out so it’s particularly encouraging that over 80 per cent of people have, are or intending to install at least one measure in homes and that well over a third of recommended measures have now been installed. This is a powerful endorsement of the Green Deal."
The Green Deal is a scheme that can help you make energy-saving improvements to your home or business:
Of the £540 million the Government recently announced would be made available over the next three years to boost energy efficiency, £450 million will be aimed at households and private landlords.
New schemes will be designed to complement the Green Deal and stimulate the flow of more private finance into energy efficiency. The Green Deal is also being strengthened to make it more attractive for consumers and to remove unnecessary cost for companies. Further details will be made available in the new year.
