NIA calls on DECC to work with industry to scale back ECO cuts as another report claims cuts are excessive

摘要

With further reports today that analysis undertaken by energy consultant AgilityEco indicate the proposed Energy Company Obligation (ECO) cuts could be between £1bn-£2bn more than is needed, the National Insulation Association is reaffirming its call to Government to work with the industry and energy companies in scaling back the cuts and help venerable households and those in Fuel Poverty. Chief Executive Neil Marshall said: "This new analysis which follows hot on the heels of the analysis undertaken and reported by the Association for the Conservation for Energy clearly highlights that the proposed cuts are well in excess of what is needed. It is now imperative that the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) works collaboratively with the industry and energy companies using the most robust evidence and data available to recalibrate the cuts."
