Energy Efficiency Commitment

The Energy Efficiency Commitment is a scheme where by, electricity and gas suppliers are required to achieve certain targets to help in the promotion of improvements in domestic energy efficiency in the UK.

The aim of the scheme is to try and make a significant contribution to the Climate Change Programme in the household sector by cutting greenhouse gas emissions.
