Decc Figures Show Millions Of Uk Homes Have Benefited From Energy Supplier Obligations In 2012

Hertfordshire, England -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/25/2013 -- The Department of Energy and Climate Change's (DECC) Energy Supplier Obligations report, details the number of properties that have benefited through the receipt of insulation measures and energy efficient products from the Energy Supplier Obligation at the start of April 2012.

DECC estimate that at the start of April 2012, 9.7 million properties have benefited from at least one major insulation measure. By the end of 2022 DECC estimate that an additional 4.8 million properties that have not already been in receipt of at least one insulation measure, via either the Energy Efficiency Commitment (EEC), Carbon Emission Reductions Target (CERT) or Community Energy Savings Programme (CESP), would receive one or more major insulation measures.

Furthermore, the DECC estimate more than 14.5 million properties will have benefited from at least one major insulation measure via supplier obligations. Four million of the properties will have benefited from both wall and loft insulation over this period.
