A Guide to the new Green Homes Grant scheme
2020-09-03 18:00 - 19:30
This session will cover information about the new Government Retrofit Grants scheme.

The Government finance statement in July 2020 included an announcement about the new Green Homes Grant scheme. The programme will make available up to £2bn worth of energy efficiency grants for householders with up to £5,000 per property matched against a householder contribution.
In this webinar we will outline details of the scheme and what has and has not yet been confirmed. We will set out how householders might want to utilise this grant as part of a one off scheme or a wider whole house retrofit. We will sketch out the importance of creating a retrofit plan, highlight contractor procurement best practice and talk about the role of quality assurance frameworks such as PAS2035.
Finally, we will outline the services we offer and how we might be able to help householders interested in the scheme.
