Up to 84% of the British public would like to see subsidies given to programmes that reduce energy waste, according to a new poll by the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit (ECIU).
The ComRes poll of more than 2,000 British adults found that 79% currently support subsidies insulating homes and 77% support subsidies for measures that cut energy waste in power transmission. Combined, subsidy support for these policies reached 84%.
The Conservative Government controversially scrapped the Green Deal back in July, with plans to deliver a replacement scheme after the end of its spending review this month.
