What is ECO?


Tom Fletcher can assist with energy efficiency for portfolios of properties and managed blocks of flats, which can ensure they meet new standards of a minimum Energy Efficiency rating of 'E, which is regulated, and will come into force in the near future.  Be aware that tenanted properties cannot be let out if the property in question does not meet the minimum standard!

The Energy Companies Obligation (ECO) is a government scheme which places obligations on larger energy suppliers to deliver energy efficiency measures to domestic householders in Great Britain. Ofgem is responsible for administering ECO on behalf of the Department of Energy and Climate Change DECC.  On a monthly basis energy suppliers notify Ofgem of measures installed in the month previous.


ECO Has Three Obligations:

  1. Carbon Emissions Reduction Obligation [CERO]: this obligation promotes solid wall and hard-to-treat cavity wall insulation together with other insulation measures and district heating systems connections.
  2. Carbon Saving Community Obligation [CSCO]: promotes insulation measures and district heating connections in areas of low income and rural areas.
  3. Home Heating Cost Reduction Obligation [HHCRO]: this obligations primary aim is to reduce the homes overall cost of heating and is directed towards low income and vulnerable households and includes the replacement of inefficient and broken boilers.

Highest Heat Loss is Through Non Insulated Walls

What's The Facts?

The Energy Act provided legislation for the Green Deal and Energy Companies Obligation [ECO] to improve the energy efficiency of existing residential and commercial properties. ECO places a legal obligation on the largest energy suppliers to install and/or fund energy efficient measures in homes where the Green Deal does not cover all the up front costs, to low income households and rural properties where Green Deal Finance is not appropriate and to difficult to improve properties.  DECC estimate that the ECO would be worth around £1.3 billion per year.

Energy Suppliers and Green Deal Providers must deliver these improvement by 31 March 2017. Green Deal Finance will be repaid back via energy bills and the ECO is a supplement to the Green Deal costs or is a full grant depending on the circumstances.
