The government\u2019s decision to suspend the issuing of finance packages under the green deal scheme is taking a toll on the energy efficiency industry.<\/p>\n
Some of what appears in manifesto is often forgotten about or swept under the carpet when a party enters government and this is evident when it comes to improving the energy efficiency of homes in the UK.<\/p>\n
This appears to be the case even if the government insists it is committed to delivering on its pledge to improve the energy efficiency of a million households that are classed as fuel poor in the UK.<\/p>\n
The uncertainty over when new policies will be put in place has led to a slowdown in the industry while everyone waits to see if any new financing packages will be introduced to give fresh impetus to the sector.<\/p>\n
It has to be remembered that improving energy efficiency in homes is an important part of reducing unnecessary energy consumption which contributes to greenhouse gas emissions. Providing finance for home insulation then suspending it actually does more harm than good in the long term as it simply leads to work being cancelled or delayed.<\/p>\n
According to figures from the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC), Green Deal and ECO schemes saw a fall of 15% between July and August of this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
