The Green Deal

"Liberal Democrats are strongly in support of the Green Deal...

The Green Deal is the Government’s initiative to support the implementation of energy efficiency measures in houses. It aims to provide upfront capital for householders to carry out energy efficiency improvements to their properties and repay through their energy bill. This will be achieved by attaching a Green Deal charge to the electricity meter at the property with the protection that any charge must be less than the expected energy savings from the retrofit.

The programme will start in late 2012. For B&NES this is an opportunity to improve the energy efficiency of houses where people are living in fuel poverty or in hard to heat homes and it is estimated that there are some 20,000 hard to heat homes in the district.

...Your Council will be working proactively to develop the Green Deal in B&NES."

Funding to help improve the energy efficiency of homes and business properties in B&NES has been approved at tonight’s budget Council meeting.

The Liberal Democrat administration has set aside £100,000 to help B&NES residents benefit from the “Green Deal” – a government initiative led by the Liberal Democrats in the coalition and aimed at increasing the energy efficiency of homes and commercial properties. B&NES Council signed up in support the Green Deal in Autumn 2011.
