Just 626 homes have completed the installation of energy
efficiency measures under the Government's flagship Green Deal programme since
it started a year ago. 1,612 households had Green Deal plans in progress up to
the end of December, with 626 of those having completed the installation of
measures such as new, more efficient boilers, solar electricity panels or
insulation. Almost 130,000 homes had been assessed since last January with a
view to signing up to the scheme, in which providers meet the upfront costs of
installing efficiency measures and householders pay the money back from savings
they make on their energy bills. The figures have prompted warnings that the
scheme is not delivering in its current form. Read more on the Evening Standard
