What is the Green Deal?

Launched in the autumn of 2012, the Green Deal is the government’s new flagship energy efficiency scheme.

The Green Deal replaces previous initiatives, such as CERT and CESP, and is designed to support a broader range of energy improvements. It alsoaims to make energy efficiency measures and advice accessible to all.

Based on a radical new finance mechanism and supported by ECO (The Energy Company Obligation) the Green Deal allows home owners, tenants and commercial building owners to fund energy improvement measures with no upfront costs.

Green Deal Finance is paid for out of the savings made by having the energy efficiency measures installed and is protected by the golden rule.

Green Deal finance is not a loan attached to the occupier or a mortgage attached to the property. Instead, the finance is attached to the electricity meter at the property and remains the responsibility of the bill payer should you move home.

  

What is the Golden Rule?

The ‘Golden Rule’ is the base on which the Green Deal finance is built. Repayments related to the finance package should never exceed the amount of money you are saving on your energy bill as a result of having the measures installed.
