Anesco signs its first two Green Deals

National energy efficiency solutions company Anesco has agreed its first two Green Deals and says it expects to complete on hundreds more in the coming months.

Anesco was one of the first companies to be approved by the government as a Green Deal provider. It is to begin work on its first two Green Deal plans in the coming weeks. All the upgrades made to the domestic properties - a semi-detached house and a flat - will be fully funded through Green Deal finance.

Adrian Pike, CEO of Anesco, said: “The Green Deal has received a lot of bad press since it was introduced, but we have backed it from the start. It offers homeowners a way to improve their energy efficiency and upgrade their properties without the need for upfront capital. This will bring lasting financial and environment benefits.

“Any new initiative takes time to get going, especially in the face of such negativity, but it’s now beginning to come into its own and we expect it will really take off in 2014. With these first two deals signed, and hundreds more expected in the coming months, the flood gates are now truly open.”

The Government officially launched the Green Deal Scheme in January. The framework has been introduced to encourage the uptake of energy efficiency measures by allowing businesses and homeowners to install measures at little or no upfront cost. Payment for the improvements is made over time through the savings made on energy bills, with rules in place to ensure that the savings made are always more than the payments required.

Reading-based Anesco works with businesses, local authorities and homeowners looking to reduce their carbon emissions. The company is already recognised as one of the top 100 cleantech companies in the world and as one of the fastest growing private companies in the UK.
