8. www.parityprojects.com Energy Company Obligation The only form of subsidy for the Green Deal currently proposed. Due to replace CERT and CESP in 2012, also funded via energy bills. Focus on fuel poverty (‘Affordable Warmth) and hard- to-treat homes (esp. solid wall). Size of overall pot and relative focus on HtT vs. FP as yet unknown Access to funding for all via a “brokerage” system

9. www.parityprojects.com GD Providers Could be retailers (B&Q, M&S, Tesco), energy companies, contractors, local authorities, social landlords Will play the central role in the GD, with responsibilities including: Marketing the Green Deal Delivering works (via internal/outsourced contractors) Customer service Organising finance (and CCA) Liaising with energy companies Etc… Exact nature of the role still unclear and may be flexible. Code of conduct to be adhered to. Financial and administrative burdens likely to be quite significant.

Energy reduction of 72% per m 2 55% reduction from draughtproofing and insulation Costs heavily associated with logistics and ease of install BUT – We’ve got to do the lot! Key Outcomes
