Updated: List of local authority statements of intent updated.
Under the Energy Company Obligation (ECO) Help to Heat flexible eligibility, obligated energy suppliers will be able to use the ‘flexible eligibility’ mechanism for up to 10% of their ECO Affordable Warmth obligation by installing energy saving measures in premises that have been declared eligible by local authorities.
Participating local authorities will have to ensure these are households in private tenure living either in fuel poverty or living on a low income and who are particularly vulnerable to the effects of living in the cold. In addition some non-fuel poor homes will be allowed for solid wall insulation projects, as long as a proportion of the households in the project are in fuel poverty or living in the cold.
This guidance is aimed at local authorities and provides templates for the local authorities’ statement of intent and declarations, as well as guidance on the targeting of households.
The last document on this page is a list of links to ECO Flexible Eligibility Statements of Intent that have been published on Local Authority websites. Please note that this is not an exhaustive list of published Statements of Intent.
If there are any missing, please contact beisecoteam@beis.gov.uk with the link to the published SOI.
We will update the list periodically.
