Review decision to end the ECO scheme, assess the economic and social impact

Open for signatures 157 signatures

What the petition asks

Review and pause the planned ending of the ECO scheme until a full impact assessment is completed, including effects on employment, industry capacity, fuel poverty and delivery of net-zero targets.
The ECO scheme supports thousands of skilled jobs and underpins the UK’s energy efficiency supply chain. Ending it without a clear replacement or transition risks business closures, job losses, loss of specialist skills and higher fuel poverty. We believe a review is needed to assess economic, social and carbon impacts and avoid long-term damage.
