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

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what estimate his Department has made of the total number of homes to be insulated through the Energy Company Obligations scheme in each of the next three years; and if he will make a statement.

The Department estimates that around 545,000 homes (or over 360,000 a year) will be treated, with around 500,000 insulated, during the 18 month Energy Company Obligation extension (running between April 2017 and September 2018).

Estimates for the number of homes insulated in the period post September 2018 will be published alongside the consultation later this year.
