As I mentioned in my post yesterday, the Govt has announced the roll-out, amongst many other green measures, of its Pay As You Save scheme - the green finance initiative.
The problem with many renewable technologies such as heat pumps is their initially high capital cost. This new scheme will provide loans that will be payable out of the money saved (or revenue earned through Feed-in Tariffs) meaning that the capital cost argument against installation is taken out of the equation.
