[Published on 20 July 2021] On 20 July, the UK Government published a consultation on the future phase of ECO which will run for four years from next April.
Honouring the commitments in the Energy White Paper, the UK Government confirmed that the policy will continue to focus support on low income and vulnerable households and the scheme envelope will be almost double the current level of support. In addition, the government hopes that the scheme will deliver deeper retrofits for the least energy efficient homes. There are also key changes proposed to the treatment of First Time Central Heating, boiler replacements and the size of the proportion of the scheme that can be delivered through local authority referrals, and by suppliers, under a reformed local authority and Supplier Flexible Eligibility route.
