Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, what the average value is of (a) new, (b) pending and (c) live green deal plans.

The Department publishes the number of Green Deal plans at each stage in its monthly Official Statistics release. The latest figures show that there were 2,000 Green Deal plans in the system at the end of April 2014. Of these, 532 were ‘new' (quote accepted), another 473 were ‘pending' (Plan signed) and 995 were ‘live' (all energy efficiency measures installed). These figures are available at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/green-deal-and-energy-company-obligation-eco-monthly-statistics-april-2014.

It is only possible to calculate the average value of ‘live' Green Deal plans as this is the point, after the measures have been installed, at which the energy supplier has all the information required to bill Green Deal charges. However, this has not yet been calculated by the department and would take in excess of the resource limit for Parliamentary Questions to compile and quality assure from the underlying data.
