ChartJavascript is required to render chart Energy Company Obligation: Measures received, processed and queue.Source: Ofgem scheme administration.Information correct as of: 01 February 2021 This chart shows the number of Energy Company Obligation scheme measures we have received from energy suppliers and how many we are processing by month. It also shows the overall size of the queue for the scheme. By queue we mean the number of measures that are not currently approved or rejected. The queue often increases considerably when a number of measures are moved out of the ‘approved’ status and back into the queue for further investigation or amendment.

The increase demonstrates the increased effectiveness of the approvals process. The number of measures processed in December 19 was significantly higher than November due to this and as a number of measures were moved from "approved" status due to the monitoring process. Measures received in February decreased significantly, likely due to new Trustmark installation standards which meant that ECO installers must be registered with them. It was expected that this will return to normal levels in the coming months as installers adjust to the changes, however with Covid-19, delivery was reduced over the spring and summer months. Volumes have since returned to pre-covid levels and continue to increase month on month. The queue has been increasing as a result of notification errors around the new Trustmark information that is required, this will start to reduce as suppliers adjust to including the correct information. The Ofgem-wide server downtime in January-21 resulted in a buildup of measures that could not be processed in-month. These measures will complete processing in February, along with the normal volumes, which in turn will reduce the queue. Date correct 01 February 2021 Policy areas Environmental programmesECO
