Up until September 2018, 132,429 households received ECO measures within the West Midlands. This equates to 117 households per 1,000 households receiving ECO measures compared to 72 households per 1,000 households for Great Britain. These published statistics can be found here (Table 4.4): https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/household-energy-efficiency-statistics-headline-release-february-2019

BEIS does not hold information on the amount of Energy Company Obligation (ECO) funding that is allocated to individual areas. Neither does BEIS project where spending will occur in the future.
