The conference has been organised by the Department for Energy and Climate Change (DECC). The Green Deal is aimed at transforming energy efficiency in the UK, establishing a new way to pay for improvements in homes and buildings, energy efficient housing and businesses. More information about the Green Deal can be found on the DECC website. The conference will explore how the roles that councils, housing associations, community groups and social enterprise might play in delivering the Green Deal, and how the Big Society approach ties in with this. Delegates will hear from Minister of State Gregory Baker, Grand Designs' Kevin McCloud and from local organisations delivering pioneering projects that will help pave the way for the Green Deal. CAG is currently completing evaluations of the CESP and CERT programmes, the findings from which will help shape the development of the Green Deal and the new Energy Company Obligation (ECO). The conference takes place on 20th June 2011 at the Royal Society. For more information about CAG's role in this conference, please contact Denny Gray on 020 8870 3050 or dg@cagconsult.co.uk.
