As some may know the Gov opened applications for ECO+ (now known as the Great British Insulation Scheme) to help people receive help towards the cost of insulation.

We applied using the .gov form and were told that EON Next would be in touch within 10 days to commence our application... Well, exactly 9 days after submission we got an email from EON saying that they are getting through the high number of applications and will be in touch when they can.

I am worried as I know from the Ofgem reports that energy companies have actually pushed back on certain aspects of the scheme so it's in their interest to stall as long as possible.

We are waiting on these insulation measures in order to decorate our house, as we'll need internal cavities putting in.

Does anyone "in the know" know anything about EON's progress with the scheme or any idea of the kind of lead times we are looking at?

Hey @stewhan10113 👋

Not sure if you've already seen but our lovely @Beki_EONNext did an amazing post recently about The Great British Insulation Scheme here
Why not, take a gander and ask any questions. We'd love to hear more from you!

Hope this helps! 🌈

No idea, but Eon Next will have lots of applications to sort through, and who knows, even prioritise. So be patient.

Also all customers are paying for this through their standing charges, and while I appreciate your desires and wishes, if you eventually get your insulation installed you will be extremely fortunate.

Hey @stewhan10113, have you heard back from the scheme yet? Any dates in the diary?
