Energy and Climate Change written question – answered at on 28 February 2011.
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change in what proportion of privately-owned homes valued (a) up to £100,000, (b) between £100,000 and £250,000, (c) between £250,000 and £500,000, (d) between £500,000 and £750,000, (e) £750,000 and £1 million and (f) over £1 million his Department expects energy efficiency measures to be installed through the Green Deal.
Green Deal finance will help householders to invest in energy efficiency measures; take-up will not depend on, or be determined by, the value of the property. Indicative analysis suggests that the price of a property rarely reflects its level of energy efficiency which would indicate that owners of properties in all price bands will be able to benefit from the Green Deal. The proposed Energy Company Obligation component of Green Deal will focus a major part of its effort on subsidised offerings to vulnerable households on low incomes, which should help to drive take-up across the spectrum of property value, including in less expensive properties.
No estimates of take-up have yet been made, but work is underway to develop understanding of this area and the recent Green Deal Impact Assessment provides illustrative scenarios to assist debate.
