The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether transitional support will be provided to energy efficiency installation and associated businesses.

Answered by Martin McCluskey

The government consulted on an extension to ECO4 earlier this year. DESNZ Ministers have now agreed to a 9-month extension to end December 2026; however, this is subject to cross-government and Parliamentary approval.

An extension would support the remediation process and allow for completion of any outstanding obligations. However, it would not be supported by funding or increased targets.
