Energy Company Obligation

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether he plans to continue the Energy Company Obligation after April 2026.

Answered by Miatta Fahnbulleh

We are committed to meeting fuel poverty and Net Zero targets, and we are currently considering what policy mix will best achieve that, including what role energy company obligations should play post-2026. We will ensure that lessons learned from the Energy Company Obligation 4 (ECO4) and the Great British Insulation Scheme (GBIS) form part of these considerations and that any successor schemes are confirmed once decisions have been made.
