UK: The Energy Efficiency Infrastructure Group (EEIG), a coalition of businesses and charities has published a report into the creation of jobs post-coronavirus lockdown, in which it concluded that 40,000 insulation jobs lie in modernising the UK’s energy-inefficient housing stock before mid-2022, and a further 110,000 jobs before 2030. BBC News has reported that each job will cost Euro65,800 to create, compared to Euro279,000 per job in road repairs, and will be evenly spread across all UK regions. Besides generating wealth, the EEIG says that the work will cut pollution, improve health and cut energy bills by Euro558/yr per household. EEIG chair Sarah Kostense-Winterton said, "Our country is in dire need of a green stimulus recovery. There could be no better time to future-proof our homes while providing buoyancy to our drained economy."
