The Energy Secretary Ed Davey
Speaking recently at Ecobuild Exhibition in London, Energy Secretary Ed Davey said that there are now over 100,000 jobs in the UK’s multi-billion pound energy efficiency market
Mr Davey said: While we’ve had just shy of half a million Green Deal assessments, with the majority resulting in people investing in home energy efficiency, the Green Deal Finance package itself hasn’t proved attractive.
The Government’s chief construction advisor had been commissioned to look at better ways of triggering innovation and deployment to encourage a greater uptake in energy efficiency measures, specifically solid wall insulation.

Nigel Rees, Glass and Glazing Federation (GGF) Group Chief Executive:
It has taken a while but the Government now appear to finally accept that their flagship initiative Green Deal has failed to deliver the results that DECC set over two years ago when the scheme was launched. We welcome Mr Davey’s comments about reviewing the entire scheme – something the GGF has called for over the last 18 months when the statistics were showing a poor uptake by homeowners. The GGF will be contacting The Green Deal Construction Board to offer to contribute to the Green Deal Review.
