Can't get at the text of that but, the Green Homes Grant has been an utter shitshow (from someone hoping to make use of it, and also someone more generally interested in how we make existing building stock significantly more energy efficient). Originally such a short time period that lots of potential installers didn't bother getting trained, lots of homeowners thought it unrealistic (work had to be completed by end of March 2021 to qualify). Then extended for a year to March 2022 - great but with notification at end of Nov that's still not a long time for getting trained, getting jobs finished.
Would have been obvious to have it longer from the start, pandemic or no pandemic, it's almost like the gov have no clue how long it takes to get thousands of people trained and individual homeowner scale projects agreed and delivered.
And now the scheme continues in name only, without the promised funding behind it (because that was only promised for 2020-21 year). What a fucking joke.
