	In July 2018 the Government confirmed that the third ECO scheme (ECO3) would be a 100% Affordable Warmth scheme. The Electricity and Gas (Energy Company Obligation) Order 2018 (“the ECO Order”) brings into force ECO3, which supports low income, vulnerable and fuel poor households meaning that all measures should be delivered to these groups. The scheme will run until 31 March 2022.		In July 2018 the Government confirmed that the third ECO scheme (ECO3) would be a 100% Affordable Warmth scheme.

The new measures, which were introduced on 1 April 2017 included:
		+
		+	* Reforms to simplify the scheme, with energy companies required to provide struggling households with energy efficiency measures to make their homes warmer and bring their bills down. There are three ways to qualify under the Affordable Warmth element of the scheme: i) those in receipt of certain means tested benefits ii) those living in social housing with an EPC of E,F or G and iii) those referred to suppliers by local authorities under the newly-introduced flexible eligibility. Suppliers can also refer households who are in or at risk of fuel poverty or vulnerable to living in a cold home.
		+	* Suppliers will be required to install a minimum 21,000 solid wall insulations per year, up from the earlier proposal of 17,000.
		+	* Continuing protection for the delivery of energy efficiency measures in rural areas, with a requirement that 15% of suppliers’ Carbon Emissions Reduction Obligation be delivered in these areas.
		+
		+	Consumer Minister, Margot James said: “The big energy firms already have to help households save gas and electricity bills, by improving homes so they are easier and cheaper to keep warm. We’re strengthening this obligation today and making sure they prioritise low income households as part of our plan to insulate 1 million homes by 2020.”
