The green Deal allows firms, including housing associations to borrow money in order to undertake energy efficiency improvements to homes, on the basis that it will be paid back through a cut of the reduction in the residents power bill.
Housing associations look to have won the right to prevent tenants from arranging eco-upgrades to their individual homes via the government’s £7bn Green Deal, despite the government claiming it gives the tenants freedom to commission upgrades. As stated by the building magazine, the deal was agreed with officials at the Department for Energy and Climate Change (DECC), is designed to allow housing associations to keep control of the improvements to their stock.
