Response to consultation on Future of the Energy Company Obligation

This publication is the Mayor of London’s response to the Department of Energy and Climate Change’s consultation on the Future of the Energy Company Obligation (ECO). The consultation covers the period from 2015 to 2017, and this response sets out areas where the Mayor supports proposals in the consultation, as well as providing a number of recommendations to Government including:

• increasing the target for solid wall insulation under the Carbon Emissions Reduction Obligation from 100,000 to 200,000 installs by 2017
• committing to regional targets for the ECO from 2015 onwards
• providing a safeguard for London’s fuel poor through a regional target, uplifts for delivery in smaller properties, or in the short-term, additional funding for London
• focussing post-2017 obligations on solid walled properties
