The Energy and Climate Change Committee (ECCC) has called for an extension of the Energy Company Obligation (ECO) to March 2018 to avoid “making the same mistakes” as previous schemes. ECO, a government scheme to obligate large suppliers to deliver energy efficiency measures to households, is due to end in March 2017 before a new obligation is expected in 2018. In a report, the ECCC recommended that Decc reconsider its decision to use a supplier obligation to tackle fuel poverty and extend ECO until March 2018, in order to provide stability for the supply chain while a new supplier obligation is developed.
