To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change what recent representations his Department has received from the Institute of Domestic Energy Assessors on eaga plc work on the Warm Front scheme; and if he will make a statement.
David Kidney
Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Department for Energy and Climate Change
holding answer
The Department has not received any representations from either the Institute of Domestic Energy Assessors (IDEA) or its members on eaga plc's work on the Warm Front scheme.
The Department has however received seven representations from the Institute of Domestic Energy Assessors (IDEA) and its members alleging a conflict of interest around eaga plc's role in administering the Warm Front scheme and the services they offer on a commercial basis such as the provision of Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) for dwellings.
Eaga plc is a commercial enterprise offering a variety of services to both central and local government as well as the social housing and private sectors. The provision of EPCs to external parties does not represent a conflict of interest in terms of their role managing the Warm Front scheme.
