I thought his might be of general interest, it's a comment made by one of the utility company representatives about the Green Deal implications for social housing but it's as relevant for the private sector :
Social housing providers can utilise Green Deal for their properties, however this means that the tenants will have to pay back the capital cost of the measures and the cost of borrowing, on their electricity bills. Thus, they are unlikely to see any tangible saving on their energy bills.
So, the utilities are of the view that there will be little to be gained by Green Deal measures which makes a mockery of linking the solar fit to Green Deal and the EPC. I think it's really important to cross reference the 2 consultations when responding.
Has anyone actually got through the Green Deal consultation yet?
