The latest figures released by the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) reveal that interest in the Green Deal is gathering pace.

The Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) has confirmed that Green Deal finance can be used to part-fund the cost of installing solar PV.

The Department of Energy and Climate Change’s (DECC) flagship Green Deal scheme is off to a flying start with 1,729 assessments lodged in February.

The European Commission has announced that it will refer the UK to the EU Court of Justice over the reduced VAT rate for the supply and installation of energy-saving materials, which includes solar PV and solar thermal modules.

I am delighted to be at Sandown today, launching the first in a series of six Solar Roadshows across the UK. As the Roadshows journey across the UK, so can the industry grow on its foundations to reach out to new markets and customers, and succeed across the country.

After a protracted ‘soft’ launch, the Green Deal scheme has officially launched to the British public today.

With just five days left before the launch of the Green Deal, new research commissioned by USwitch.com has shown that just 19% of consumers have even heard of the Green Deal.

A coalition of businesses, unions and charities have come together to urge the Prime Minister to raise attempts at tackling fuel poverty.

With the full launch of the Green Deal rapidly approaching, the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) has announced that the list of eligible measures under the Green Deal has been expanded from 30 to 45.

Neither solar PV nor thermal will qualify for the £125 million cash back scheme the government is launching to kick-start its flagship Green Deal initiative.
