If I qualify, will I receive 100% of the funding?
For any energy efficiency measures that you qualify for, you will have access to the necessary home improvements completely free of charge.
Where does the funding come from?
Under ECO (Energy Company Obligation), medium and larger energy suppliers provide the funding for the installation of energy efficiency measures in British households. The funding for the GBIS also comes from government resources and contributions from energy companies.
Each obligated supplier has an overall target based on its share of the domestic energy market in Britain.
The obligated energy suppliers work with installers to introduce certain efficiency measures into British households.
