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 990, on energy bills, how many households are forecast to receive assistance under the Energy Company Obligation (a) in each year between 2013 and 2017 and (b) in total.

Our analysis published in the Assessment of Impacts document accompanying the ECO consultation suggested that 8900,000 households would be supported to the end of March 1015 and an additional 930,000 households would be supported to the end of March 2017. This leads to a total number of households supported of 1,820,000

We will be publishing our projections of the number of households supported under ECO in the forthcoming Impact Assessment alongside the government response to ECO.
