The Green Deal
The Green Deal will be start in Autumn 2012 and will allow householders to have approved energy saving measures installed in the property without having to pay up front.

• accredited advice and recommendations

• home energy efficiency improvements at no up-front cost

• much easier, co-ordinated offers (one point of contact)

• reassurance that work is of a high standard

• the ability to pay via energy bills over the long term (for example, 25 years), making use of the money saved on fuel

• only to pay whilst they remain in that property

• to avoid conventional loans with the risk of defaulting on the entire sum

• The Green Deal will include owner-occupiers, the private and social rented sectors
and the commercial sector.

• Backed up by a reformed energy company obligation

We will be able to advise you on all aspects of the scheme once more details are known in late 2011.
