More information on how the Green Deal will be boosted with the £2.9m marketing budget in the New Year!

As per Ball Contractors webiste we are please to announce further information on the marketing budget for the Governments flagship Green Deal.

The Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) has launched an online registration portal for those interested in taking part in the scheme as well as releasing places to develop a national Open Homes network, allowing people to see the benefits of an energy improved household.

DECC has been granted an exemption to the government’s marketing freeze for the two developments, seeing an initial £2.9m injection to cover both digital and traditional channels.

The Open Homes network will aim to make it easier for homeowners to find house that have been improved by energy saving retrofits.

Additionally, DECC has launched its online Green Deal Cashback Portal where Green Deal providers, charities and community interest companies wishing to partake in the scheme must register. The cashback will be administered by Capita.

Greg Barker, Minister of Energy and Climate Change said:

“We are making excellent progress on the Green Deal ahead of the key date of 28 January 2013, when the first Green Deals can be signed. We now have funds for a communications campaign that will build further understanding of the Green Deal, helping to create a real buzz.”

“We are also supporting development of a national Open Homes network which will show people just how great their home could look and feel with exciting energy efficient upgrades. When you add our fantastic cash back into the mix, it’s clear that the Green Deal is building momentum and will be a brilliant offer for people.”
