ECO4
What is the ECO4 Scheme?
The ECO4 Scheme comprises grants available to homes that don’t have the income to install energy efficiency measures independently. This includes measures such as solar panels, heating systems such as heat pumps, and insulation. The aim of the Energy Company Obligation scheme, funded by some of the main energy providers, is to aid low-income or disadvantaged households to improve the energy efficiency of their homes to lower energy costs and carbon emissions. Free grants for measures such as solar panels, heating systems such as heat pumps, and insulation are available to eligible households.
ECO Plus
What is the ECO+ Scheme?
ECO+ (Energy Company Obligation) is a scheme to provide funding to help many more households become more energy efficient through grant-funded insulation measures and energy efficiency improvements. The £1 billion funding is intended to help bring down people’s energy bills and reduce carbon emissions, and runs until March 2026. ECO mandates that energy suppliers provide support to those in low-income household
LA Flex
What is the LA Flex Scheme?
Local Authority Flexible Eligibility (LA Flex), is a branch of the government’s ECO scheme. LA Flex gives councils and local authorities the power to widen the eligibility criteria so that more residents, on top of those claiming benefits, can qualify for funding, usually on the basis of lower incomes, health, age, or area, allowing councils to better support specific communities. Energy Companies used to be capped at offering 25% of their obligation to be used through LA Flex, but this obligation cap has been raised to 50%, meaning more people who fall outside of eligibility criteria can be put up for consideration.
LAD Scheme
What is the LAD Scheme?
£500 million of funding was allocated to Local Authorities through The Local Authority Delivery Scheme, to help low-income households improve their heat retention and efficiency. The main aim of the LAD scheme is to increase energy efficiency in low-income and low-performing properties (those with energy performance certificate (EPC) ratings of E, F, or G, although some help may be available for ratings B and D, including homes that are off the gas network. Neither fossil fuel heating nor biomass heating are considered qualifying improvements under the terms of the scheme
