Firms out of pocket and losing faith in England’s much-hyped £2bn Green Homes Grant scheme administered by ICF, a Virginia-based American consulting corporation. The scheme is in chaos, renewable energy installers say, with some owed £tens of thousands and struggling to stay in business. Ministers awarded the contract to run the programme to ICF. Details of the value of the govt contract have not yet been published. Renewable energy businesses say the administration of the grants is chaotic, inefficient, confused and is creating long delays for the public and installers. The scheme, run by the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy, was launched last autumn. ICF has been awarded 80+ govt contracts in the last 5 years.
