The ECO4 initiative is a UK government program aimed at enhancing energy efficiency, reducing CO2 emissions, and addressing fuel poverty by the year 2050. It offers support to households with low incomes to upgrade their energy efficiency. The primary goal is to enhance the energy standards of homes with low incomes and poor energy performance, especially those with EPC ratings of E, F, or G.
- Eligibility for ECO4 includes:
Being a Homeowner, Property Owner, or Renting Privately - Receiving specific income-related benefits like: Income-
- based JSA, ESA related to income, Income Assistance,
- PCGC, WTC, CTC, Universal Credit, Housing Allowance, PCSC, and Child Allowance.
- Having an EPC grade of E, F, or G.
ECO FLEX, overseen by local councils, offers 'flexible eligibility' for those who might not fit the standard Benefit criteria. Local authorities must validate the eligibility of applicants. Installers handle the Declaration application process on the customer's behalf. The target is to support households in private sectors that are either facing fuel poverty or are at risk due to cold living conditions. Additionally, certain homes not facing fuel poverty can qualify for solid wall insulation projects if a portion of the households in the project are vulnerable to cold.
To be eligible for ECO FLEX, your household income should be £30,000 or less, inclusive of housing expenses. If you receive Child Benefit, the following income limits apply based on household composition:
- Single, no children: £14,700
- Couple, no children: £23,300
- Single with a child aged 0-4: £18,300
- Single with a primary school-aged child: £19,200
- Single with a secondary school-aged child: £22,100
- Couple with a child aged 0-4: £25,500
- Couple with a primary school-aged child: £26,500
- Couple with a secondary school-aged child: £29,300
Vulnerable groups include those over 60 (especially over 75), children under 5, pregnant women, individuals with respiratory conditions, cardiovascular diseases, severe mental health issues, substance abuse problems, dementia, neurological disorders, cancer, mobility issues, blood disorders, severe learning disabilities, autoimmune diseases, and those recently hospitalized due to a fall.
The LA Delivery Scheme, also known as the Local Authority Delivery (LAD) program, offers financial support to enhance the energy efficiency of homes belonging to low-income families, aiming to reduce fuel poverty. This initiative aligns with the UK's goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. Unlike the previous Green Homes Grant, LADS 2 leverages local insights to pinpoint households that would benefit most from energy efficiency enhancements. Eligible homeowners can receive up to £10,000 for energy-efficient home upgrades. Landlords, both private and social housing, with qualifying tenants can apply for up to £5,000 for similar improvements, but they might need to cover a third of the costs. This means landlords can avail up to £7,500 in services for a maximum outlay of £2,500. Additional expenses can be discussed with the project manager.
To qualify for LADS,
- your home should have an EPC rating of E, F, or G, including homes not connected to the gas grid, and the total annual household income should not exceed £30,000.
