Greg Barker comment on latest Green Deal statistics

Statement from Energy and Climate Change Minister Greg Barker on the latest Green Deal statistics

This was published under the 2010 to 2015 Conservative and Liberal Democrat coalition government

Commenting on the publication of the latest Green Deal statistics, Energy and Climate Change Minister Greg Barker said:

“It is clearly very early days but the latest figures on the Green Deal show that this new market is gathering real momentum. 9,268 Green Deal assessments taking place in just over two months is very encouraging and shows a genuine interest from consumers. The Green Deal gives people the opportunity to improve the efficiency of their homes, make them warmer and protect themselves from rising energy bills.

“The number of businesses getting on board continues to rise steadily, underlining that the Green Deal offers fantastic new commercial opportunities. 48 firms are now authorised as providers, with a further 831 registered to carry out installations and over a thousand individuals registered to offer assessments. Overall this is a really promising start for the Green Deal.”
