About the ECO4 Scheme

How does ECO4 work?

The Energy Company Obligation (ECO) is a government energy efficiency scheme in the United Kingdom. It was introduced to address energy efficiency and fuel poverty by reducing carbon emissions and improving energy efficiency in domestic properties.

Under the ECO, larger energy suppliers are obligated to provide funding for energy efficiency improvements in households. The scheme places specific obligations on energy suppliers to deliver energy-saving measures to eligible households. These measures include insulation, boiler upgrades, heating system improvements, and other energy-saving measures.

ECO4 is the 4th phase of the ECO scheme, which is directly rsponsible for tackling fuel poverty and making energy more affordable for consumers. The ECO scheme is periodically reviewed and updated by the UK government to align with national energy efficiency goals and targets. It provides opportunities for eligible households to improve their energy efficiency, reduce their energy bills, and contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
