Evaluation of the Green Homes Grant Voucher Scheme (GHGV) Interim Outcome and Economic Evaluation Report

The Green Homes Grant Voucher Scheme (GHGVS) was evaluated to determine its effectiveness in improving UK home energy efficiency and stimulating the related market. The scheme aimed to retain jobs, foster market growth, and provide benefits across various households, particularly targeting low-income ones. The evaluation, conducted by Ipsos and partners, utilized surveys and data analysis, revealing that over 83,000 vouchers were issued and nearly 49,000 measures installed. Despite high demand, the scheme encountered supply chain issues and some quality concerns. Economic analysis showed that while societal costs were high, individual households, especially those with lower incomes, saw financial benefits. The scheme also supported job creation and improved industry skills, but faced challenges with quality control and customer satisfaction. The interim report anticipates a more detailed final report in March 2023, which will further assess the scheme's impact on energy consumption, decarbonization, and overall value for money. The scheme was found to complement other programs without significant overlap and was effective in reaching fuel-poor households. **This summary was written by an AI model and therefore should not be considered a definitive summary of the report.
