Energy Company Obligation
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of his Department’s proposal to amend or end the Energy Company Obligation on (a) fuel poor households and (b) the UK’s climate obligations.
- Answer
-
The Government has committed to extending the Energy Company Obligation from 2022 to 2026. The consultation highlighted how this will help an extra 305,000 families with green measures such as insulation, with average energy savings of around £300 for households benefitting from upgrades. The policy would achieve carbon savings of 12.1 MtCO2e over the lifetime of the policy (2022- 2067).
