What is the Eco4 Scheme?
The Energy Company Obligation (ECO) Scheme is a government initiated scheme to help UK households increase their energy performance certificate rating (EPC) through installation of energy efficient upgrades such as heating upgrades, insulation and renewable measures.
The funding is achieved from the biggest energy providers such as British Gas, EDF, EON and more
ECO4 Is the 4th generation of the scheme and is scheduled to run until 2026.
The ECO scheme is a government initiative designed to make homes in the UK more energy-efficient and reduce carbon emissions. Through ECO, energy companies are obligated to fund and implement energy-saving improvements in qualifying homes. These improvements can include insulation, heating upgrades, and other measures that enhance energy efficiency. The goal is to make homes more comfortable, lower energy bills, and contribute to a greener environment. As part of our commitment to sustainability, we actively participate in the ECO scheme, ensuring that our customers not only enjoy the benefits of improved energy efficiency but also play a role in building a more eco-friendly future. If you have any specific questions about how the ECO scheme applies to your situation, feel free to reach out to our team. We’re here to assist you on your journey to a more energy-efficient and sustainable home.

The ECO4 Scheme Updates:
The government’s response to the Energy Company Obligation (ECO4) consultation sets out the policy of the scheme from April 2022 until March 2026. The scheme, worth £4 billion, delivers energy efficiency and heating measures to homes in Great Britain:
- 10% of ECO3 delivery may be carried over into ECO4, subject to certain measure exclusions
- to support supply chain delivery, between 1 April 2022 and 30 June 2022, measures may be installed to ECO3 rules, subject to certain measure exclusions
- early delivery of ECO4 measures during any gap between ECO regulations will be allowed
- carry-under will not be implemented
The ECO4 scheme’s other main policies include:
- supporting households on the lowest incomes. Households in receipt of means tested benefits will be eligible. Up to 50% of the obligation target can be met under the reformed ECO4 Flex, which is designed to target households on low incomes, but not in receipt of benefits. ECO4 Flex will be voluntary for local authorities, the Scottish and Welsh governments, and obligated suppliers. The eligible pool will be at least 3.5 million homes
- only energy efficiency band D-G homes eligible for ECO4. For social housing and private rented accommodation, ECO4 will support the least efficient homes in bands E-G only
- an EFG minimum target, increased to 150,000 private tenure homes, pushing greater delivery to homes needing the most improvements and attracting higher scores
