ECO4
ECO4 Scheme
The Energy Company Obligation (ECO) is a British government energy efficiency scheme to help reduce carbon emissions and tackle fuel poverty.
The ECO4 Scheme (Energy Company Obligation, phase 4) offers free grants for energy-saving measures like insulation, heating upgrades, and renewable energy installations like solar panels and heat pumps – helping you reduce carbon emissions, lower energy bills, and combat fuel poverty.
What is the ECO4 Scheme?
t is a grant scheme designed for householders to reduce bills, keep warm and reduce our impact on the environment. Currently our customers can apply for the ECO grant, a grant that helps low-income and vulnerable households install energy efficient solutions to their homes.
The scheme mainly targets households with a low EPC rating (D, E, F or G). Its primary focus is on providing funding for energy-efficient home improvements to low-income households and those living in poorly insulated homes, under ECO4 eligibility. It is expected to meet Net Zero emissions criteria.
This is the 4th stage of the ECO Scheme, which will only run until 31 Mar 2026. So don’t wait – start your application today!
