WHAT IS ECO4 SCHEME?
The ECO4 (Energy Company Obligation) scheme is a UK government initiative aimed at improving energy efficiency in low-income households and reducing carbon emissions. ECO4 is the latest phase, running from April 2022 until March 2026. The scheme primarily targets low-income households, helping them reduce energy costs and improve home energy efficiency through measures like insulation, heating upgrades, and renewable energy installations
- Eligibility: It focuses on those in social housing, homes with poor energy efficiency ratings (EPC ratings of D, E, F, or G), and households receiving government benefits. Homeowners and private renters with eligible landlords may apply.
- Energy Savings: By improving energy efficiency, ECO4 helps households lower their heating costs and contributes to the UK's broader environmental goals of reducing carbon emissions.
