Energy Company Obligation
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment he has made of (a) the adequacy of funding for the Energy Company Obligation scheme (ECO4) following its extension and (b) the level of funding available to support delivery.
Answered by Martin McCluskey
Energy supplier obligation schemes will not be continuing. The government has agreed to a 9-month extension of ECO4 until 31 December 2026 to allow installers to carry out any remedial works needed following findings of non-compliance in external wall insulation. The extension will support the remediation process and assist an orderly close-down of ECO where energy suppliers can fulfil their delivery obligations, however it is not supported by a new levy or increased targets.
