This publication is for ECO3 measures installed on or after 1 October 2018.
Under the Energy Company Obligation (ECO3) a wide range of energy efficiency measures can be installed. The measures table provides the measure type names that energy companies must use when they notify ECO3 measures, as well as some additional information for each measure.
ECO3 Measures Table
The ECO3 Measures Table provides information on eligible energy efficiency measures which suppliers can use to meet their obligations for measures installed from 1 October 2018 until 31 March 2022. The table includes the following information for each listed measure:
- measure category
- measure type
- eligibility under ECO3 HHCRO obligations
- standard lifetime
- relevant PAS annex
- measure name: format for notification to Ofgem.
Additional information has also been provided for some measures. The list of measures is non-exhaustive.
Please note that the measure types listed are those which are present in the deemed scores matrix. District heating systems have also been included, but these must be scored with SAP/RdSAP. Other measures may qualify, subject to review by us on a case-by-case basis.
Some measures which were present in previous versions of the table have been removed as they do not have deemed scores. These measures are still eligible for ECO, and if suppliers wish to install these measures they should contact us. For more information on the process of applying for new scores or non-standard lifetimes, please consult our ECO3 Guidance: Delivery.
