We’re seeking views on proposed changes to the current Energy Company Obligation (ECO3) scheme. This includes:

  • incorporating the TrustMark Government Endorsed Quality scheme into ECO3, as a route to demonstrating compliance with the most up to date relevant PAS standards and to ensure a sufficient consumer protection process and guarantees are in place
  • technical changes to the way First Time Central Heating is treated under the scheme

The consultation will be of particular interest to:

  • energy suppliers
  • energy efficiency manufacturers
  • installers and trade bodies
  • groups interested in fuel poverty issues
  • local authorities

but anyone with an interest in energy efficiency and fuel poverty issues is welcome to respond.
