Ed Davey has today announced a new Green Deal Home Improvement Fund which from June will enable people in England and Wales to take better control of their bills and have warmer homes.
Ann Robinson, Director of Consumer Policy at Uswitch.com, says: “The first step in reducing the size of energy bills is to cut back on the amount we use – so consumers should welcome this news.
“The new incentive scheme is a simpler way for people to engage in energy efficiency, and funds are now more accessible as an Energy Performance Certificate up to two years old can be used rather than having to get a Green Deal assessment.
“This scheme is available from June if you live in England and Wales, so there’s no excuse not to start thinking straight away about how you could make your home more energy efficient. It’s really important to get people using less energy and this is a great incentive to do this.”
