Green Deal - Partnering with Toriga Energy and Travis Perkins
Since late 2009, Ball Contractors Managing Director Matthew Ball has
been working extremely hard taking the Company into new areas within the
construction industry, in the Renewable Energy and Carbon Reducing
Sectors. Since Completing the Retrofit for the Future Project in 2011,
where we won the competition in Partnership with Ashford Borough
Council’s Housing Department, we have continued our diversity and
continued looking towards the future within these exciting
opportunities.
‘These are extremely difficult financial times that are affecting everyone, but we need to keep pushing forward in continually trying to develop and grow our business into these exciting and evolving areas’
Matthew Ball said at his AGM
With the Green Deal coming in October this year, and being referred to in the Energy Act 2011, the Green Deal is an initiative to establish a framework to enable private firms to offer consumers (households, communities and workplaces) energy efficient improvements to their homes, at no upfront cost, paying back the cost of such improvements through their energy bills.
At the heart of the Green Deal is the rule that estimated savings on bills will always equal or exceed the cost of the work.
At a national level, the UK needs to become more energy efficient to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions, which risk dangerous climate change. The Climate Change Act 2008 legislated for a reduction in our carbon emissions and set legally-binding carbon budgets across all sectors of the UK economy-including our homes and communities, and our workplaces.
At a local level, the Green Deal will enable many households and businesses to improve the energy efficiency of their properties without consuming so much energy and wasting so much money. A quarter of the UK’s carbon emissions comes from the energy used in homes and a similar amount comes from businesses, industry and workplaces.
Ball Contractors are extremely excited to announce that we have teamed up in a Strategic Alliance with Travis Perkins & Toriga Energy to deliver a comprehensive Green Deal proposition to consumers and the trade.
The alliance between BBCL and the two companies allows us to provide an integrated Green Deal proposition from specification through to finance, assessment and installation-in effect an end to end Green Deal solution.
