AgilityEco ECO4 information events

27/07/2022

AgilityEco, an expert provider of low carbon, energy efficiency and innovative fuel poverty services recently hosted two events to present the changes to the Energy Company Obligation (ECO) - an online webinar for supply chain partners and an event on behalf of Sheffield City Council for local authorities. Both events were fully sold out in less than 24 hours. Thank you to everyone who attended.

ECO4 is a four-year programme that aims to aid the government in meeting its net zero targets by providing grants to fund energy efficient measures to reduce emissions and energy bills. These measures include insulation, boilers, air source heat pumps, and more. ECO4 heralds great opportunities for supply chain partners and local authorities.

Virtual ECO4 supply chain webinar

AgilityEco’s virtual event offered supply chain partners direct insight into the decisions of the changes to ECO from policy makers, The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS).

Attendees also got to hear about the delivery of ECO4, the benefits of working with AgilityEco, PAS2035 highlights, and retrofit support from Bierce, PASHub software solution by CoreLogic and Alto Energy’s Alto Assured programme.

Joint Chief Executive of AgilityEco, Gearoid Lane kicked off proceedings with a welcome speech, introducing AgilityEco and how the business helps fuel poor homes receive fully funded energy efficiency and other measures by working with supply chain partners.

The presentation highlighted the positives that ECO4 will bring including how the scheme has an increased focus on targeting inefficient private, low-income, households and how it will tackle fuel poverty.

Shueb gave an overview into the differences between social housing, private renting, owner occupied, scoring and how it has changed to reflect the Government’s ambition to meet our fuel poverty targets, and shared his thoughts on ECO4 pricing and its supply chains.
