The Government has increased the impact of their Green Incentives package from plans to only allow applications from households with an energy efficiency rating of C or above to widen the package to include lower energy efficiency households.
DECC (Department of Energy and Climate Change) will, now, allow homes with a rating of level D or higher to be eligible to apply for green incentives, such as the Feed-In Tariff (FIT) scheme.As a result of the changes, half of UK homeowners will now qualify for green financial incentives from FITs but have until April 1 2012 to make the most of the subsidies.
