Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, how many (a) new, (b) pending and (c) live non-domestic green deal plans there are.

Up to the end of May 2014, there were no non-domestic Green Deal Plans at any of these stages, because the focus of Green Deal to date has been on the domestic sector. The Government is, however, committed to encouraging energy efficiency in the non-domestic sector through a variety of schemes, with action not limited to the framework provided by the Green Deal. Other key policy instruments include the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme and Climate Change Agreements (providing financial incentives for energy efficiency), and the new Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (requiring energy audits of all large enterprises every 4 years).
