npower has 'Grand Designs' on saving energy

Consumers looking to take control of their energy costs got the latest energy efficiency advice from npower at this year's Grand Designs Live.

Visitors to Grand Designs met with npower's energy experts, received energy efficiency advice, discussed what renewable technologies are available to them and could  sign up to receive more information about the Government's new Green Deal initiative, as it progresses.

npower invited visitors to the stand to learn more about how to create a warmer home, including how the Green Deal might help them to achieve this.

The aim of Green Deal is to revolutionise the energy efficiency of British properties and reduce carbon emissions. With the Green Deal, households will be able to receive finance in the form of a loan, to help pay for energy efficiency improvements, such as loft, cavity or solid wall insulation. It works on a 'pay as you save' principle allowing consumers to repay the loan in instalments via their energy bill.

As well as avoiding potentially large up front costs, which can be a massive barrier, consumers can take comfort in the knowledge that repayments should not exceed the estimated savings on their energy bills – the so called 'Golden Rule'.

Visitors who signed up to receive more information about the Green Deal and requested an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) for their home from npower, were automatically be entered into a free prize draw for up to £5,000 worth of energy efficiency improvements.

David Titterton, npower's Director of ECO and Green Deal Delivery said: "Saving energy for consumers is key to running a successful energy services business. There are significant changes to government legislation taking place which, in principle, should make access to key energy saving improvements easier for everyone.

"The Green Deal is a fundamental shift in the way that people can finance energy efficiency improvements for their home.

"While the final details are still being worked on, we want to encourage as many people as possible to find out more about the Green Deal and energy efficiency."
