DECC — April 11th 2012
The Deputy Prime Minister has announced that at least £540 million of the government's home energy efficiency programme -
worth £1.3bn per year - will be targeted at helping the poorest.
In a speech to a leading environment and industry figures
in London, Nick Clegge reveaed the support will protect the poorest and
most vulnerable in society, including people in depriced areas, from
rising energy bills by upgrading their homes so that they are cheaper to
heat for good.
The Green Deal is the government's plan to upgrade the
nation's hardest to heat homes at no upfront cost. Where the cost of the
work outweighs the saving, or people need extra financial help, energy
companies will be able to step in to top up the loan under the Energy
Company Obligation.
