Dutch version of Green Deal set for UK launch in summer

摘要

A £200m framework for UK energy efficiency work will be launched this summer by the providers of the Dutch version of the Green Deal, Building can reveal. Energiesprong UK - the UK arm of the Netherlands' Energiesprong scheme, translated as 'energy leap' - will procure contractors to deliver retrofits across 5,000 UK homes at an average price of £40,000 per unit. The government-supported Dutch scheme works similarly to the UK's failed Green Deal and involves wrapping an existing building in a prefabricated system of wall and roof panels to increase its energy efficiency. Energiesprong has been more successful in the Netherlands compared to Green Deal in the UK because retrofits are often done on a larger scale, with Dutch housing associations and contractors entering into agreements to retrofit homes on a street-by-street basis.
