This publication is for ECO1 reference only and applies to measures installed on or before 31 March 2015. For measures installed under ECO2 (1 April 2015 - 31 March 2017) please refer to the ECO2 Guidance.
This page explains how we let energy suppliers know we intend to refuse or revoke approval of an energy efficiency measure under the Energy Companies Obligation (ECO).
After a supplier notifies a measure to Ofgem we must decide whether we can attribute savings to the measure. We may decide that we can and in this case we say we have ‘approved’ the measure. We may decide that we cannot and in this case we say we have ‘refused to approve’ the measure.
Sometimes we need to revoke an earlier decision to approve a measure – and in this case we say we have ‘revoked our approval’ of the measure.
Where we decide to refuse or revoke approval of a measure we notify the supplier in writing of that intention. A supplier then has a defined period of time, normally two weeks, to submit any further evidence for our consideration. Our notice of intention to refuse or revoke will give the reason for our intended decision for each individual
Where a supplier uses a notice of decision to demonstrate to an installer that Ofgem intend to refuse or revoke approval of a measure, the supplier may wish to confirm to the installer that the measure referred to in the notice is the measure installed at a particular address.
We will notify a supplier of our decision for every measure included in a ‘minded to’ notice. This includes measures for which we decide not to refuse or revoke approval. We communicate our decisions through a decision notice.
