Green Deal Starts Today

[Eco Deal]

As above the green deal starts today !

Whos getting involved and how ?

 

[SRE]

Does it? Haven't seen anything happening.

 

[MorganPVI]

Green Deal - is that Job Seekers for hippies?

 

[whinmoor]

Hasn't exactly kicked off with a bang, has it? Not even mentioned on the BBC website as far as I can see.

 

[Eco Deal]

no today the first date you can complete occupancy assessments and apply for eco funding

 

[SRE]

Can you install ECO right away or is it being held until Jan with GD?

 

[TedM]

ECO is on hold as there is no legislation and, consequently, no guidance from OFGEM. Greg is too busy on a jolly to Africa to bother with these minor details.

It's like THE INSTALLER magazine (spreader) says, it's up to us, the people in the industry, to promote it. I'd like to think I have a reasonable inbuilt fact detector, but I don't think I have come across one hard fact about the green deal yet from reading any of these industry publications. Anybody remember the story of The Emperors New Clothes???

he could have used all the savings from the FIT drops to advertise it on the tv, or i wonder if the energy suppliers are advertising it on there advertisments

you did the GDA have you opened any GD doors?

 

[Eco Deal]

not as yet time will tell

MEP like the rebranding I hope it pays off not just for your sake but everyone's.

I'm on the fence with the green deal, we've got the expertise and man power but a little coy, once bitten twice shy. Although the whole green agenda isn't going anywhere, if politicians pick it up to use it to there own ends the facts are that climate is changing needs addressing on top of our own (uk) energy security.

 

[sedgy34]

Might be an idea to find out what labours plans are for going green so if they get in you know they won't get rid of it
(shouldn't have to take an interest in politics to earn a living) Ffs

 

[dansk]

As long Ed is in charge they wont get in - but if David comes to the front then its time to look what there policy's are.

 

[finchy]

Agree, the bloke hasn't got a commanding voice , haven't they learnt anything from America Barack is a great speaker, inspirational speeches which evoke everything Ed's don't.
