This is a major consultation in relation to the Government’s Green Deal proposals which are part of the Energy Act 2011. It will affect most private landlords in some way. The Government will be banning the renting out of properties in Energy Performance Certificates (EPC) Categories F and G from 2018 by the latest. This consultation, however, has three main purposes. It explains the context for the development of the Green Deal and Energy Company Obligation, sets out their proposals and highlights key issues for consultation.
