Eco4
What is ECO4?
The Energy Company Obligation (ECO) is a government energy efficiency scheme in Great Britain designed to help reduce carbon emissions and tackle fuel poverty.
ECO4, the latest phase of the scheme, was launched in April 2022 and will run until March 2026. It focuses on delivering energy efficiency improvements to households, particularly targeting those in fuel poverty and vulnerable situations.
Objectives of ECO4
Reducing Carbon Emissions
By promoting the installation of energy-efficient measures, ECO4 aims to lower greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to the UK's net-zero targets.
Alleviating Fuel Poverty
The scheme prioritizes households that struggle with high energy bills, ensuring they receive the necessary support to reduce their energy consumption.
Supporting Vulnerable Households
ECO4 targets assistance to households with vulnerable occupants, including the elderly, disabled, and those with young children.
​​
How ECO4 Works
​
The scheme mandates that large energy suppliers fund the installation of energy efficiency measures in eligible homes. ​These measures can include:
​
-
Insulation- Loft, cavity wall, and solid wall insulation to reduce heat loss.
-
​Heating-Installation of energy- efficient boilers, heat pumps, and other heating systems.
-
​Renewable Energy- Support for the integration of renewable energy technologies, such as solar panels.
Who is Eligible for ECO4?
​
ECO4 is primarily aimed at low-income, vulnerable, and fuel-poor households. Eligibility criteria include:
-
​Income-Related Benefits- Households receiving certain income-related benefits are eligible for support.
-
Low-Income Households- Households identified as low-income by the Local Authority.
-
Fuel Poverty- Households identified as fuel poor under the government's definition.
