Green Deal too complex

11th October 2013

The government scheme to improve the energy efficiency of millions of homes is so complex it is likely to be discouraging the public from signing up, the head of the company funding the project has admitted. Mark Bayley, the chief executive of the Green Deal Finance Company, revealed that he now only expects around 1,000 households to have energy-saving measures installed under the plan in its first year. Mr Bayley admitted that the complexity of financing the Green Deal could be putting off a lot of homeowners from taking part.
