Caroline Flint – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Energy and Climate Change

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Caroline Flint on 2014-04-29.

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, pursuant to the Oral Answer of 3 April 2014, Official Report, column 994, on energy efficiency, how many of the 600,000 households that have received energy-efficiency improvements received assistance under the (a) Energy Company Obligation and (b) Green Deal.

Gregory Barker

The number of households benefitting from energy efficiency measures installed through ECO and Green Deal are published in Table 1a of my Department’s monthly Official Statistics release on Green Deal and ECO statistics. The latest published figures show that, up to the end of February 2014, 569,234 households had measures installed under ECO and 883 had measures installed using the option of Green Deal finance. Some households may have had measures installed through more than one delivery mechanism and there is therefore a small level of double counting. Further installations that have been funded through the cashback scheme are also reported in Table 1a.
