UK Government earmarks £35 million for energy efficiency measures

Innovative measures that cut the costs of energy saving and reducing carbon emissions for homes and businesses are to get a £35 million boost, UK Energy Secretary Chris Huhne has announced.
In the Spending Review last year, the Government earmarked more than £200 million for low carbon technologies over the next four years.
A £35 million share of that pot is now going to be devoted to reducing carbon emissions from buildings.  Details of where and how the funding will be allocated to reduce the costs of energy saving in domestic and non-domestic buildings will be announced later in the year.


Meanwhile, a new Energy Efficiency Deployment Office will be established within the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) to create an energy efficiency strategy and strong programme management.
The Office will have its own chair and director, like similar Offices for renewable energy, carbon capture and storage and nuclear power.
