ECO4
The Energy Company Obligation (ECO) is a government energy efficiency scheme designed to tackle fuel poverty and help reduce carbon emissions.
Large and medium energy suppliers are required by the government to install a number of energy efficiency measures such as insulation and heating upgrades to support vulnerable, fuel poor and low income households to heat their homes.
Eligibility for ECO is based on receipt of eligible benefits. Local authorities however are able to widen the ECO4 eligibility criteria to enable more vulnerable and low income households, who are not in receipt of benefits, to be eligible for this support. This eligibility route is called ECO Flex and the details of this eligibility route for Coventry residents can be found in our statement of intent.
Please note however that ECO4 is due to end on 31 March 2026, therefore it is unlikely you will be offered ECO4 funding at the current time due to the limited time available left for approvals and installs to take place.
Our privacy notice describes how Coventry City Council will use your personal data as part of the ECO Flex scheme.
