Flexible eligibility for poor fuel households

Under the Energy Company Obligation (ECO) Regulations 2017 - 2018 (ECO2t) we can set their own criteria to decide eligibility for funding for domestic energy efficiency measures. This funding is aimed at those who are most likely to be in fuel poverty.

Energy companies can spend up to a maximum of 10% of their full obligation within these criteria. We must publish a 'Statement of Intent' that defines who is eligible for funding before this can happen.

We intend to implement flexible eligibility within the regulations and will work with energy companies and their authorised installers to maximise the input of flexible eligibility for fuel poor households. However, fitting the criteria within the our 'Statement of Intent' does not guarantee that any individual household will benefit from energy saving improvements as the final decision rests with energy suppliers and will depend on:

• The survey carried out by the energy company or their authorised installer and installation costs calculated (note: no funding is provided by us).
• The energy savings that can be achieved for a property.
• Whether energy suppliers have achieved their ECO targets or require further measures to meet their ECO targets (this will affect the amount of funding available through the scheme).
