Energy Company Obligation 4 and the Great British Insulation Scheme Consultation on mid-scheme changes

Overview

20 November 2024 

Options Assessment added to the GOV.UK page.

We’re seeking views on the additions and updates to the current iteration of the Energy Company Obligation scheme (ECO4) and Great British Insulation Scheme (GBIS). This consultation is separated into two parts.

• Part 1: Mid-scheme changes to current requirements
• Part 2: Pay-For-Performance

The changes we are proposing through this consultation would help to ensure ECO4 and GBIS support our statutory objectives of improving as many fuel poor homes to band C by 2030 as is reasonably practicable and reaching net zero by 2050. 

The consultation is open to all but of particular relevance to:

• Energy suppliers
• Energy efficiency measure installers
• Energy efficiency measure manufacturers and associated software developers
• Local authorities
• Consumer groups
• Academic groups

We would like to hear from a wide range of stakeholders, including consumer representatives, energy suppliers and those with an interest in energy efficiency and fuel poverty policies.

What happens next

We will review all consultation responses and finalise our proposals based on your feedback. We will publish the government's response to this consultation in due course.
