Ofgem (ECO2) CSCO final report

[ALEO Admin]

On 28 September 2017, Ofgem published its final report on ECO 2 CSCO, detailing its final determinations on energy companies’ achievement against their CSCO and CSCO rural obligations under ECO2.

The response to the government’s ECO Help to Heat consultation, in January 2017, confirmed that the CSCO and CSCO rural sub-obligation would not be extended, and ended on 31 March 2017.

The report's Executive Summary states that every supplier met its CSCO and CSCO rural sub-obligation and that the total lifetime carbon savings achieved under CSCO were 7.28 MtCO2, including 1.57 MtCO2 achieved under the rural sub-obligation. These constitute 121% of the CSCO target and 174% of the rural sub-obligation target.

There were several observations and findings from the administration of CSCO during ECO2, including:

• overall, the most frequently installed measure type under CSCO and CSCO rural was cavity wall insulation, followed by loft insulation and solid wall insulation
• a greater number of measures per household were delivered in England for CSCO and CSCO rural than in Scotland or Wales
• a significant proportion of the suppliers’ achievement of their CSCO and CSCO rural obligations were carried over from ECO1 surplus actions
