HOW IS ECO4 FUNDED?
The Government requires major energy suppliers to fund the Energy Company Obligation (ECO) scheme. This means that all the large energy suppliers are required to enhance energy efficiency across the United Kingdom in order to reduce the country’s carbon emissions.
ECO4 is the latest version of the ECO scheme, targeting lower-income households, it is part of the Government’s strategy to enhance energy efficiency in households that are vulnerable to fuel poverty, where reduced heating costs make the biggest difference to the quality of life.
WHAT MEASURES ARE FUNDED UNDER ECO4?
ECO4 funding is available for several measures including Cavity Wall Insulation, Gas Boiler Replacement/Upgrade, First Time Gas Connection, Heating Controls upgrade, Loft/Room-in-Roof Insulation, Solid Wall Insulation, External Insulation among others.
