ECO is dead. It's easier to try to rebuild public trust in fuel poverty and energy efficiency schemes when you burn the previous government's policy down rather than tinker with it. It is, however, harder to keep supply chains going and the industry's capacity to be there and rebuild it with you.

Today’s Budget is sending mixed signals on electrification. More should be done to help low-carbon innovators compete and this means doing more to address the excessive ‘spark gap.’

🔥New report "Heating up: Towards a new generation of warm home schemes" looks at opportunities beyond ECO4 to transform warm home schemes by centring around the consumer, delivering through area-based partnerships, focusing on health & social outcomes with affordable clean heat. tinyurl.com/yuhcm566

Heating up: Towards a new generation of warm home schemes

The next ECO scheme should focus on consumers’ needs, be delivered through area-based partnerships, and have a specific focus on health and social outcomes.
