Energy Company Obligation Scheme

Helping households reduce the costs of home heating by installing energy-saving upgrades

The Energy Company Obligation is a government energy efficiency scheme designed to tackle fuel poverty and help reduce carbon emissions.

Suppliers must promote measures that improve the ability of low-income, fuel-poor and vulnerable households to heat their homes

Eligibility

You might be able to get help for energy-saving improvements to your home if you either:

  • claim certain benefits and live in private housing. For example you own your home or rent from a private landlord
  • live in social housing
