The Green Deal
This is an ambitious initiative that it is hoped will revolutionise the energy efficiency of British properties.
The intention is to offer consumers energy efficiency improvements to their homes with no up-front cost. The 'innovative' financing mechanism allows consumers to pay back through instalments on their energy bills.
The Green Deal finance will be used to provide retrofit insulation and provide devices which help to improve efficiency and minimise
heat loss which is attributed to being one of the main reasons for climate change.
THE ‘GOLDEN RULE’ IS THAT REPAYMENTS SHOULD NEVER EXCEED SAVINGS
Whilst the Green Deal loan scheme is not yet available, there are generous subsidence’s available for loft and cavity wall insulation with free installations for many priority groups FIT’s payments are also fully in place and at their highest returns. Contact greendealadvisorsouthwest.com for more information about either of these possibilities.
Measure Available
Within the Green deal there will be three routes to funding.
Feed In Tariffs (FIT’s) – payments made for the electricity generated by Micrpogeneration systems fitted to individual homes:
Anerobic Digestion – primarily semi commercial
Photovoltaic (solar PV)
Hydro
Wind
Micro CHP
Renewable Heat Incentives (RHI’s) – payments based of the reduction of energy usage resulting from the installation a specified range of microgeneration systems.
Heat Pumps -ground, air and water source
Biomass
Biomass combustion (including gasification and pyrolisis) – commercial scale technology
Biomethane injection
Solar thermal
Geothermal
Energy from municipal solid waste
General Insulation – savings resulting from increased insulation and other energy conservation measures:
Double Glazing
Cavity Wall Insulation
Loft Insulation
Replacement Boilers
Solid wall Insulation
Draught Proofing
