Conwy ECO Flex: Transforming Homes for a Sustainable Future
Introduction
In our collective journey towards a greener and more sustainable future, it is crucial to address the energy efficiency of our homes. The Conwy County Borough Council is taking the lead in this endeavor by introducing the Conwy ECO Flex scheme. This innovative program aims to support low-income and vulnerable households, improve energy efficiency in homes, and contribute to the government's fuel poverty and net-zero commitments.
What is Conwy ECO Flex?
The Conwy ECO Flex scheme, also known as the Energy Company Obligation (ECO) 4 scheme, is a targeted initiative designed to uplift the least energy-efficient homes in Conwy County Borough. By providing financial assistance and support, the scheme aims to transform these homes into energy-efficient dwellings, reducing their carbon footprint and helping households save on energy bills.
The Great British Insulation Scheme (GBIS)
To complement the ECO4 scheme, the Conwy County Borough Council has introduced the Great British Insulation Scheme (GBIS). This scheme focuses on delivering predominantly single measures to a wider range of households, further enhancing the overall energy efficiency of homes in the area. GBIS works in collaboration with energy companies, their agents, and installers to ensure the successful implementation of energy-saving measures.
How Does the Conwy ECO Flex Work?
To access the benefits of the Conwy ECO Flex scheme, eligible households need to apply through an energy company, their agent, or approved installers. These entities collect client details, perform comprehensive home energy surveys, and arrange the necessary works for successful applicants. Conwy County Borough Council's role in the process is to vet applications, ensuring that all qualifying conditions are met.
Statement of Intent for ECO4 and GBIS
The Conwy County Borough Council has published a Statement of Intent, outlining the objectives and guidelines of the ECO4 and GBIS schemes. This document provides a comprehensive overview of the schemes' purpose, eligibility criteria, and the steps involved in the application process. It is an essential resource for both householders and installers, ensuring everyone understands their roles and responsibilities within the scheme.
ECO4 and GBIS Documentation
To facilitate a smooth application process, the Conwy County Borough Council has made available several documents that guide householders, installers, and other stakeholders. These documents include:
• GBIS & ECO4: Householder Application Form (PDF)
• GBIS & ECO: Guidance Note for Householders (PDF)
• GBIS & ECO: Guidance Note for Installers (PDF)
• GBIS & ECO4 Evidence Checklist (Microsoft Excel)
• GBIS & EC04: Guidance Note for Declaration Transfers (PDF)
• GBIS & ECO4: Declaration Transfer Application Form (PDF)
• Conwy Borough County Council Privacy Notice - ECO4 (PDF)
By consulting these resources, applicants can ensure they have all the necessary information and documentation to proceed with their energy efficiency upgrades. Please go on the link to the council website to access documents
