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

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what assessment his Department has made of the potential impact on customer engagement of requirements for multiple installations at a single property under the Energy Company Obligation 4 scheme for 2022-26.

The Government knows that customers are engaged under the Energy Company Obligation 4 scheme (ECO4) since households benefitting under the scheme already have multiple energy efficiency measures installed in their homes. The latest average number of measures delivered is 2.26 per home. The Government expects an average of 2.5 energy efficiency measures installed per home in houses rated band E to G under ECO4.

The Government’s Impact Assessment for ECO4 has considered likely consumer take up by assessing other multi measure schemes, including the Social Housing Demonstrator Fund project, and will be available to view once published in early 2022.
