Green Deal....Oh Dear!

[ktech]

My initial point was that advertising all these technologies with 'NO UPFRONT COST' was a little misleading. From the GD presentations I have been to renewables are an upfront cost component of the GD - an add on if you will. The GD that I have been presented is all about keeping energy down by keeping the heat in , renewables come 2nd with the upfront cost.

If you meet the golden rule under GD with different measures there is no upfront costs!

confusion deal !

There are a lot of sceptics out there but the GD is here and here to stay this will work and you will all miss out if you don't do anything about it now!!! Then again it's till 2030

It's only until 2030 if you believe that the next government that comes in won't scrap it.

i think its going to be a messy start for first year things will need ironing out in second year but then it should be a stable , then again all the sales types are already taking about killing it

First of all the FITS is NOT included in the GREEN DEAL

I don't know how true this is, but I have heard that there is talk that FITS may now come into play for Green Deal installs. Like I say, not sure how true it is, I heard it 3rd hand but the original source is someone close to a GD working group. Has anyone else heard anything similar?

I have a green deal round table meeting this Friday with Greg, I'll ask to see if there is any clarity on this

 

[Eco Deal]

At the moment it not included so you can not calculate FITS in the golden rule can you!!!!

 

[SolarRoofSols]

True, but like i said I have heard talk that it may be included for GD, not specifically to meet the golden rule. If the talk is true then it may make it attractive for homeowners if a proportion of the cost is paid for by GD (subject to financing terms), and they still get the FIT. Not as good as if the whole cost/installation met the golden rule but every little helps IMO

I hope he a) manages to make it on time and b) answers some answers an c) doesn't bring Otto with him!!!! Good luck, I'll look forward to hearing what he had to say

should we be having a whip round for the bail money?


(in case the urge to give him a slap is too strong to resist)

This is interesting i don't think the green deal will be everything we want it to be, i think we have gotta just give it chance as its a very bad time to set this in motion its Christmas!! & i don't think its got the publicity required yet look at where solar was a few years ago!!

Use of the feed in tariff has been discussed at steering group level.

Nobody on this thread has claimed that the FIT is included in green deal as my earlier post stated " feed in tariff not relevant to green deal".

i have a contact within the greendeal and mr barker i will ask the question if FIT is included in the green deal
