This year's poll in regards to green energy and saving among UK homeowners found the response being the same as that of the 2012 poll. This is despite the green deal roll-out introduced by the Government to help homeowners understand how they can save money through using a variety of green energy efficient saving methods following a widespread concern over increasing energy bills.
Poll Findings on the Green Deal
The findings of the poll indicated that 28% of people questioned, were very much considering implementing changes in order to save energy in their home. The findings were the same as back in 2012.
Additionally, the poll found that a staggering 84% of those questioned are very alarmed in regards to the abrupt rises in energy prices for the future. The pole also revealed that nearly half of the UK's population are currently worried about paying their bills in the short term.
"These figures show the gravity of the government's failure to develop a functioning energy efficiency policy," said Reg Platt, senior research fellow at the IPPR thinktank. "The flagship green deal policy has done nothing to improve peoples' awareness of the steps they can take to insulate themselves from the rising cost of energy. Energy efficiency provides more immediate and long-term benefits for energy affordability than any other solution."
