Target for implementation is Autumn 2012. At present the government is still in the process of consultation with officials from DECC developing the technical details for secondary legislation. As part of this process four Green Deal stakeholder advisory forums have been established:
Installer Accreditation & Qualification Forum
Purpose: to advise the Government on the creation of an ‘accreditation and qualification framework’ for installing energy efficiency products under the Green Deal.
Green Deal Advice Qualification & Accreditation Forum
Purpose: to advise Government on the development of the advice framework for the domestic and non-domestic Green Deal.
Capacity & Innovation Forum
Purpose: to advise Government on the supply chain evolution required to meet our 2020 Green Deal related climate change targets.
Maximising Energy Efficiency in Buildings
Purpose: to suggest ways of increasing the uptake of the Green Deal across a range of property tenures, types and geographic locations. This includes involvement of energy companies and Local Authorities.
An action plan has been published in the Government Response to the Low Carbon Construction Innovation and Growth Team, June 2011
