Green Deal Assessment research

The Green Deal, a government initiative aime at decarbonising UK buildings, has come under fire for having failed to attract a sufficient number of takers. However Energy and Climate Change Minister Greg Barker is encouraged by the 100,000 households which have undergone assessments.

“The research undertaken in November and published today 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% 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.”
