Green Deal Cashback Incentive Welcomed

Social landlords have welcomed £125 million of cashback payments designed to encourage take-up of the green deal.  The Department of Energy and Climate Change has announced details of the scheme which offers payments worth up to £1,020 for the first landlords and residents who adopt the green deal when it opens for business in January next year.  Social landlords will only be eligible if they pay for the works themselves, but social tenants can get the cashback if they take out a green deal loan.  Find more details on the DECC website.
