Energy Company Obligation: Heat Networks
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what recent discussions he has had with OFGEM on funding for shared ground loops under the Energy Company Obligation Scheme.
Answered by Miatta Fahnbulleh
There is provision within the rules of ECO4 for shared ground loops to be delivered. ECO4 is not funded by government. Rather, the government requires energy suppliers to deliver energy efficiency measures to eligible households. The energy suppliers fund those measures and recoup the costs from their customers’ energy bills.
