Current Domestic Energy Efficiency Grants/Schemes

Energy Company Obligation (ECO)

ECO focuses on:
-         Those on a lower income and the most vulnerable
-         Hard to treat properties e.g. those that need solid wall insulation but that will not meet the Golden Rule of the Green Deal finance. 

ECO support is expected to be integrated into the Green Deal process, with the details arranged for the consumer by the Green Deal Provider.
