The Energy Act 2011

6/3/2012

0 Comments

 
Full Details of the 2001 Energy Act are contained here.
The flagship policy in the Bill is the 'Green Deal', a scheme whereby householders, private landlords and businesses would be given finance upfront to make energy efficiency improvements, which would then be paid for by energy bill savings. It also introduces a range of other provisions.

Key areas
  • establishes a new obligation on energy companies to help certain groups of consumers, who need extra support, with saving energy
  • facilitates the roll-out of smart meters
  • widens access to energy performance certificates
  • makes information on energy bills clearer
  • introduces measures designed to help improve energy security and to encourage low carbon generation
  • grants additional powers to the Coal Authority to charge for certain services. 

Of interest to both landlords and tenants is the plan to make renting out a residential or business premise unlawful if it doesn't reach a minimum energy efficiency standard. This is proposed to be set at an EPC rating of Band E.
