DECC Announces Closure of the Low Carbon Buildings Programme to New Applications

The Department for Energy and Climate Change recently announced that as of 6.00 am on Monday 24th May 2010, the Low Carbon Building Programme (LCBP) will close to all new applications.  The immediate closure to new applications will result in £3 million of savings from LCBP Phase 1 & 2, effecting both domestic and public sector installations.  The cut forms part of the overall £85 million saving for the department.

All Ground Source Heat Pump customers in receipt of a valid grant offer letter will be able to claim their grant as normal, providing their claim is in line with grant terms and conditions and within the validity period of the grant offer.
