1 How to access ECO Funding? Katie Swain

2 What are we going to cover? Who is Sustain? Overview of ECO Type of measure included What does this means for the southwest Key measures The route to accessing funding Questions?

3 Sustain ECO Programme Management Sustain's end-to-end ECO programme management service offers a full package of options including direct access to ECO funding: through working in partnership with our expert team, Sustain can provide support and guidance to enable RSLs & Contractors to understand these opportunities, extend existing projects, develop potential projects and secure funding to enable them to be delivered. Sustain have long term relationships with utility partners from EESOP to ECO

4 Overview of ECO Measures qualifying for ECO In ECO AW (Affordable Warmth) HHCRO (Home Heating Carbon Reduction Obligation) In ECO (Carbon Reduction) In ECO (Carbon Saving Communities) Total Target ( bn 20.9 MtCO2 (lifetime) 6.8MtCO2 (lifetime) months) Sub Targets 350m/annum 760m/annum 190m/annum Area All areas All areas Delivery will be in the 15% of LSOAs Requirement to deliver 15% of the target in rural areas Tenure Private housing only Private and social housing Private and social housing Occupant Low income and vulnerable households identified individually through benefits data (measures which reduce the cost of heating the home) All households. All areas Households in defined low income areas.

8 Key Measures CSCO Any insulation measure that is recommended in the assessment (solid wall, cavity, loft, flat roof, under floor) Connection to a district heating scheme where loft and wall insulation has been installed

9 Devon & Cornwall CSCO areas (adjoining) Southwest

10 Plymouth CSCO areas & adjoining areas Southwest

11 Southwest Fuel Poverty Data 2010 No of household in UK No of Households in SW 2.2m 342k 15% % Fuel Poor CSCO SW No of CSCO areas No of Households No of solid wall Households 208k 138k 34k

12 Solid wall insulation to at least 50% of walls Hard to treat cavities 3 or more storeys chartered surveyor deems it s not suitable for standard cavity cavity less than 50mm cavities in pre-fab house or with metal frames uneven cavities (e.g. natural stone) Key Measures If one of the above measures is installed district heating connection/upgrade can be installed If one of the above measures is installed then glazing is also allowed If one of the above then glazing also allowed installed within six months by same energy supplier energy efficiency must exceed current standard CERO

13 Plymouth % Solid wall areas Southwest

14 Southwest 572k solid wall properties 27% of properties 32k classed as non traditional

15 Key Measures Affordable Warmth HHCRO All about heating homes for less rather than carbon savings Wide scope of measures that can result in cost savings Boiler replacements and repairs qualify -Repairs, not functioning efficiently or has broken down Has efficiency value of not less than 86% when accessed against SAP (capped at 5% of energy suppliers targets) -Replacements must be high efficiency condensing boilers can not be economically repaired

16 Route to Accessing ECO Direct agreement with an obligated utility Partner with a delivery partner/broker who has a funding agreement with a utility Subcontract to a contractor who has a funding agreement with an utility Enter into ECO Brokerage (need to be/partner with a GDP) Potential Regen ECO Consortium?

17 Be ECO Ready Understand compliance and utility requirements Policies and procedures up to date, i.e. H&S, accreditations Understand ECO Process Installation to PAS 2030 standard (certification may be required by some utilities) Understand links with Green Deal
