Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, pursuant to the Answer of 28 January 2022 to Question 111470 on Energy Company Obligation, if he will ensure that there is not a gap between the end of ECO3 in March 2022 and the start of ECO4 in April 2022.

Last Summer the Government consulted on extending the Energy Company Obligation (ECO) Scheme from 2022-26. The Government will issue a response in due course. ECO4 will commence once the Government has sought parliamentary approval. The Government will endeavour to ensure that there is a smooth transition between the end of ECO3 and the start of ECO4.
