The government is planning to extend existing home insulation programmes to bridge the gap between the government’s energy efficiency scheme and insulation installations. New targets are needed for energy companies under existing domestic insulation agenda. It is forecasted that in the upcoming Green Deal and Energy Company Obligation (ECO), the loft insulation work will decrease by 93% and the cavity wall insulation work will decrease by 70%.
As a retrieve, the Carbon Emissions Reduction Target (CERT) and the Community Energy Savings Programme (CESP) is a contrary approach to insulate more homes.
Major energy companies were persuading the government to delay the October launch of the Green Deal. The Department for Energy and Climate Change (DECC) is considering in progressing the programme on a staged regional basis or levelled household income basis.
