This is set out on page 27 of the final impact assessment which can be found at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/energy-company-obligation-eco3-2018-to-2022?6543" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/energy-company-obligation-eco3-2018-to-2022?6543</a>. Being a statutory obligation on energy suppliers to meet their targets, we have a high degree of confidence that the lifetime bill savings delivered through installing measures into homes will be met in full. Suppliers have flexibility as to how they phase delivery over the obligation period.</p> answering member constituency Devizes answering member printed Claire Perry question first answered 26/11/2018 17:20:19 answering member 3974 label Biography information for Claire Perry
