The Energy Company Obligation Scheme has been in place since January 2013 and has delivered around 3.3 million improvements in 2.3 million homes up to the end of October 2021.<\/p>
<\/p>
To date, the Energy Company Obligation Scheme has delivered £6.6 billion in Lifetime Bill Savings up to the end of October 2021 and an estimated lifetime energy saving of 211,300 Gigawatt Hours.<\/p>
<\/p>
Since the Energy Company Obligation Scheme began in 2013, the average energy efficiency rating in England has increased from 59, to 66 in 2020. During that same period, 2012-2019, the number of fuel poor households in England fell from 4.4million to 3.2million.<\/p>
<\/p>
In September 2019, the Department appointed Kantar to undertake a scheme evaluation, reporting in late 2022. The initial findings of the evaluation show that overall, more than half of households surveyed (57%) said they had benefitted a fair amount or a great deal from having the energy saving measures installed. Benefits cited by participants included savings on energy bills, a more comfortable temperature in the home and reduced worry about heating their home.<\/p>"}

The Department, as it laid out in the recently published Energy-Related Products Policy Framework, will be looking at whether changes to minimum energy performance standards and labelling could encourage uptake of more efficient and cost-effective heating solutions, which would help protect consumers\u2019 energy bills and reduce energy demand. This includes direct electric heaters such as panel heaters, electric radiators and electric storage heaters, which are currently expensive to run.<\/p>
