We're launching a new ECO+ scheme to help insulate hundreds of thousands of homes across the UK.
Our new plans will support the installation of additional energy efficiency measures in around 410,000 homes, intended to run from Spring 2023 until March 2026 at a value of £1 billion over the three years.
It will target support at a wider group of households living in the least efficient homes in the lower Council Tax bands, who are not supported through other schemes, as well as low-income and vulnerable households.
ECO+ will support these households to cut annual bills by an average of £310 per home (based on energy prices consistent with the Energy Price Guarantee from April 2023). Without intervention, many households will struggle to pay their bills not just this winter but over the next few years.
