3 Levelisation Mechanism Threshold and Uplift as per the Term Sheet – threshold of 35% (Phase 1 and 2) and uplift factor of 1.75 Uplift for primary measures only above the threshold (threshold made up of primary measures only). Carry-over Cap There will be no cap on over-delivery against 2015 targets. Carry-over Rules All CERO and CSCO surplus action can be carried forward with no rule changes. In the case of HHCRO surplus action installed from 1 st January 2014: –A deflated score (0.75 without warranty and 0.8 with warranty) will apply for replacement gas boilers. –An uplifted score (1.40 without warranty and 1.45 with warranty) will apply for insulation and boilers in households whose main space heating systems are ‘non-gas’. –The warranty requirement is for a one year installation warranty (no annual service) provided at the time of installation with a customer declaration that there was no charge for the warranty. –Warranties are obligatory for HHCRO surplus action (boilers) from 1 st January –The deflator and uplifts will continue to apply in ECO2 (from April 2015) CSCO Additional qualifying areas Rural rule changes - Lowest 25% of LSOAs in settlements under 10,000 population SWI Minimum Government will introduce a SWI minimum of 4MtCO2 by 31 March apportioned according to market share. Targets The 33% Reduction will be applied to Phase 3 only The targets remain as consulted on (2.25 years) apart from HHCRO, which has reduced by £0.1bn to reflect the updated policy decisions and market delivery data – this depends on a move away from gas boilers.

5 Ofgem consultation on Draft ECO HHCRO Guidance link below: The HHCRO requirements will have an impact on measures delivered from 1 January Some of these requirements relate to whether certain measures can be credited towards a supplier’s ECO2 HHCRO. These are: Demonstrating whether a premises is non-gas fuelled. Introducing qualifying warranties for boiler replacements. Introducing warranties for electric storage heater replacements. Non Gas fuelled premises An uplift may be applied to the cost saving of a heating qualifying action if the measure is installed in a non-gas fuelled premises under ECO2 (next consultation will have more information on uplifts) HHCRO surplus actions under ECO1 may be applied to ECO2 if installed between 1 st Jan 2014 and 31 st March 2015 these will be subject a conversion factor (between 1.35 & 1.45 depending on the measure) The ECO2 order also confirms the proposed definition of a non-gas fuelled premise as the following :- –The main space heating system of a premises includes any heating systems present that are not fixed room heaters. –Where the premises is only heated by fixed room heaters then these will be the assumed main heating system. Warranties for replacement boilers All replacement boilers installed must be accompanied by a qualifying warranty. This requirement will apply to all replacement boilers, irrespective of fuel type and whether they are qualifying or non-qualifying boiler replacements. ECO Ofgem Consulting
