Peterborough City Council (the “Council”) has been awarded GBP 3.9 m by the Department of Energy and Climate Change (“DECC”) from the Green Deal Communities Fund (the “Funding”) to drive a Green Deal initiative in the City of Peterborough (the “City”) (the “Project”). The Council are seeking to utilise the Funding in combination with other sources of funding from Government energy efficiency incentive schemes, including ECO (Energy Companies Obligation) and the Green Deal Home Improvement Fund; loans provided to households by the Green Deal Finance Company, and any other appropriate energy efficiency Government funding sources or incentives that may become available during the term of the tendered agreement. The Council estimates that the Project will have a total value of approximately GBP 12 million to the appointed bidders.
Around 11,000 of the City’s most “hard to treat” properties (in its Gladstone, Millfield, New England and Eastfield areas (“Target Area”)) will be targeted because of their particularly poor construction. The main focus will be on private landlords, as the Target Area has a very high proportion of rented homes, although the scheme will be available to all households in the Target Area.
The Council expects to work with the appointed bidders in future on other domestic energy efficiency schemes in Peterborough City and beyond.
The Project will be driven by the Council through its performance of Green Deal Assessments of homes by its pre-appointed project manager, initially within the Target Area before expanding to other parts of the City. Following the delivery to residents of a Green Deal Assessment Report, it will be recommended to residents that they use the Council’s appointed bidders as the Green Deal Provider for delivering the finance and arranging installation of the measures.
Residents that choose to have Green Deal Measures installed will be given a voucher, which they can put towards the cost of the measures. The value of the voucher can be redeemed by the customer from the Council.
As part of marketing the Project, the Council will be running a promotion that will result in the development of ten show-homes within the Target Area for which Green Deal has been delivered; and a further 90 homes within the Target Area will receive free Green Deal Assessments (paid for by the Council). Alongside the voucher, the marketing Council’s approach is expected to generate significant interest in Green Deal within the Target Area; and in the City more widely.
