Issue - meetings

The meeting received a report which sought approval for submission to the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) of a report detailing progress thus far against obligations in relation to domestic home energy efficiency. This report to DECC also set out the Council’s intention to use the Green Deal and Energy Company Obligation (ECO) as its main delivery mechanisms for HECA aims.

Members endorsed the Council’s ambition to contribute to a reduction in fuel poverty and carbon emissions. It was also noted that two options were currently being considered in respect of the Green Deal.

RESOLVED that

1)            the report (Appendix 1) be approved for submission to DECC and the consequent requirement to publish this report on the Council’s website be noted; and

2)            the current position in relation to the Green Deal be noted.
