Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what discussions he has had with companies involved in the supply chain of the Energy Company Obligation scheme (ECO) on (a) the transition to its fourth iteration in April 2022 and (b) ensuring current projects are not stalled and cash flow isn’t disrupted.

The Government has proactively engaged with industry during the drafting and analysis stages of the consultation for ECO4. The Government will issue a response to the ECO4 consultation before the end of the current scheme. This will ensure the supply chain can adequately prepare for ECO4, ahead of legislation being laid.
