Below is more information about the scheme and also how the council manages the personal information you give us.
Data Protection - The details you provide may be used by West Lothian Council & the contractor to report back to the Department for Business Energy and Industrial Strategy & Ofgem to support claims for utilities funding via the Energy Company Obligation - Local Authority Flexible Eligibility Scheme. Further information about how the council manages personal information can be found within our privacy notice.
Under the Energy Company Obligation (ECO) Help To Heat Flexible Eligibility, obligated energy suppliers will be able to use the 'Flexible Eligibility' mechanism for up to 25% of their ECO3: 2018-2022 Affordable Warmth obligation, by installing energy saving measures in properties that have been declared eligible by local authorities. Assistance will be available to private tenure households living either in fuel poverty or living on a low income and who are particularly vulnerable to the effect of living in the cold. In addition some non-fuel poor homes will also be considered for solid wall insulation projects, as long as a proportion of the households in the project is in fuel poverty or considered to be vulnerable. This Statement of Intent outlines West Lothian Council's approach to maximising ECO funding across the region for those in fuel poverty, on low incomes and vulnerable households that may otherwise not qualify for domestic energy improvements.
