The energy company obligation (ECO), a levy on bills which funds energy-efficiency schemes for low-income homes has been axed in the Budget.
Unless the funding is replaced *in full* in the government's Warm Homes plan, this will be a disaster for climate action, fuel poverty and jobs.

⚠️ The Warm Homes Plan must plug this gap
The government must urgently set out how ECO will be replaced in the Warm Homes Plan, before jobs are lost due to uncertainty & homes are left cold, damp and hard to heat. It also needs a clear roadmap for achieving both climate & fuel poverty targets.

💵 Less money for fuel poor
Without ECO, the UK is left without a large scale fuel poverty scheme. While £1.5bn is promised under the Warm Homes Plan, it’s a downgrade on the £6.4bn ECO would have spent in the same period. For households this scheme would have supported, this is a huge loss.

👔 Job losses
ECO supports thousands of jobs across Britain, particularly in Scotland. This includes retrofit experts and installers who are vital to ensuring everyone lives in a warmer, safer home. This move will cost jobs and could undermine the UK’s ambitions to improve cold, drafty homes.

The Energy Company Obligation (ECO), an insulation scheme funded through energy bills, has been scrapped.
The latest version faced structural issues and needed an overhaul, but ECO has run for over a decade, supporting a steady supply chain for retrofit businesses.
So, what does this mean?

Building the equivalent of the UK's second biggest airport right next to its largest?
Moving the M25?
Increasing noise pollution and air pollution for Londoners?
The UK faces many challenges. Heathrow expansion is not the answer to any of them - and is insanity in a climate crisis.

You can appreciate the scale of the unusual polar warming in Oct 2025 when you look at both poles at once. Antarctica was not just warmer than average on net, it was anomalously warm almost everywhere & by quite a bit (& this is with a rel. warm ref period, '86/15). Similar for the high Arctic. 🥵🧪⚒️🌊

Most people hear “heat pump” and think of small air-source units at home. But Germany is building one of the world’s largest heat pumps in Mannheim: a 162 MW river-source system using heat from the Rhine.
Big reminder that heat-pumps scale far beyond households — they can decarbonise whole cities.
