The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, if he will make it his policy to retain the social housing obligation in future iterations of the Energy Company Obligation scheme.

Answered by Miatta Fahnbulleh

The current iteration of the Energy Company Obligation (ECO), ECO4, began in April 2022 and is scheduled to run until March 2026. ECO supports eligible social housing properties in energy efficiency bands D - F.

We are considering the role of supplier obligations in achieving our fuel poverty and clean power targets post-2026. Future iterations and changes to tenure eligibility would be subject to public consultation.
