Laura Sandys is calling on local residents in Thanet to take up the opportunity to not only make their homes more energy efficient but dramatically reduce their energy bills. Households in England and Wales who use the Green Deal to make energy saving home improvements will now also qualify for hundreds of pounds of cashback from the Green Deal Cashback Scheme. The more work households decide to have done, the more cash they could receive and packages could be worth over £1,000.
Laura who is Parliamentary Private Secretary to Greg Barker, Minister of State at the Department of Energy of Climate Change said:
“I was delighted to speak at the launch of the Green Deal, the Coalition Government’s new initiative to transform the energy efficiency market and at long last puts consumers in charge. It’s a great new scheme that allows people to make their homes warmer and save energy at the same time. This will have a particularly dramatic impact on fuel poverty as it will ensure that people will not need to spend so much on their energy bills in the long-term.
“It is also great for local businesses, creating a new market and new jobs in Thanet. Britain has some of the least energy efficient buildings in the world and this scheme gives people a new way of paying for energy efficient improvements such as insulation and new heating systems. There are 45 different types of improvements currently available under the Green Deal in Thanet, helping people warm up their homes and pay for some or all of the improvements over time through their electricity bill. The Green Deal really has the potential to transform people’s homes across Thanet.”
Households in England and Wales who use the Green Deal to make energy saving home improvements will now also qualify for hundreds of pounds of cashback from the Green Deal Cashback Scheme.
