Enigin News - A Quarter of a Million Jobs from Green Deal

THE UK government’s Green Deal to radically overhaul the energy efficiency of small businesses and homes could support a quarter of a million jobs over the next 20 years.

The prediction was announced today by the UK Energy Secretary Chris Huhne in a press release by the Department of Energy and Climate Change.

The Green Deal will be a new and radical way of making energy efficiency affordable for all, property owners and tenants. The upfront costs of energy efficiencies will be attached to the building’s energy bills. People can pay back over time with the repayments less than the savings on bills, meaning many benefit from day one. It will help save carbon, energy and money off fuel bills.

It’s the first estimate on the potential job creation from the projected £7 billion of Green Deal private sector investment per year. If all targeted by the programme were to participate in the Green Deal over the next 20 years, employment in the sector would rise from its current level of 27,000 to something approaching 250,000.

Energy and Climate Change Secretary Chris Huhne said:

“The Green Deal is a massive new business opportunity which has the potential to support up to a quarter of a million jobs as part of our third industrial revolution.

“Energy efficiency is a no brainer. We need to tap in to this huge market to save people money on fuel bills, save carbon and help the economic recovery.”
