This section provides guidance on the processes for becoming an authorised Green Deal Provider and the necessary steps required to issue a Green Deal Plan once fully authorised.
Application and Authorisation Guidance
Guidance on the authorisation process is available in the Green Deal Provider section of this website.
Provider Guidance Document
This Guidance is intended to provide additional information for Green Deal Providers on the requirements of operating in the Green Deal market. It is not a comprehensive handbook to the market but instead gives guidance on the underlying regulatory framework, in particular the requirements in developing a Green Deal Plan and the monitoring and sanctions processes. It should be read in conjunction with Part 1, Chapter 1 of the Energy Act 2011, the Green Deal Framework Regulations (Disclosure, Acknowledgement, Redress etc.) Regulations 2012, and the Green Deal Code of Practice.
Consumer credit regulation transferred from the Office of Fair Trading to the Financial Conduct Authority at the beginning of April 2014 – this is an important change for Green Deal Providers to be aware of, and companies wishing to continue to carry out consumer credit activities after 1 April 2014 must register for interim permission. Details can also be found in the Become a Green Deal Provider section of this website.
The Provider Guidance document is available for download from the right-hand side of this page (Green Deal Provider Guidance).
