What is the ECO4 Grant Scheme?

The ECO4 scheme is the latest phase of the UK government’s effort to promote energy efficiency. It builds on previous phases of the Energy Company Obligation programme and places a strong emphasis on upgrading the energy performance of homes occupied by vulnerable and low-income households. The scheme not only helps reduce energy bills but also contributes to the UK’s broader goal of lowering carbon emissions.

Who is Eligible for the ECO4 Grant Scheme?

Eligibility for the ECO4 grant scheme is primarily based on financial and vulnerability criteria. Here is a detailed breakdown:

Benefits That Qualify for ECO4

Unfortunately, Personal Independence Payment (PIP) is not a qualifying benefit for the ECO4 grant.

Other Qualifying Criteria

Additionally, certain households may qualify based on the following criteria:

  • Low Income and Vulnerable Household Criteria: This includes those with a low income and vulnerabilities related to health, age, or other risk factors.
  • Local Authority Flexible Eligibility: Some local authorities can identify households that may benefit from the scheme, even if they do not receive the above benefits.

The ECO4 grant scheme eligibility criteria are designed to ensure that support is directed towards those who need it most, in terms of improving their home’s energy efficiency and reducing heating costs.
