Government-backed energy firm Smartway Energy has entered administration, according to an official notice published to the Gazette. The notice revealed that the company entered administration on November 4.
The firm offered customers 'innovative' solutions to help make their homes more energy efficient in an affordable way. Services included boiler installation, loft insulation, heating control system installations, ventilation and cavity wall insulation services.
Government-backed grants and ECO4 scheme
The sustainable energy and home improvement company was government-backed, meaning eligible customers could receive grants to help cover installation costs. Through government-funded initiatives like Energy Company Obligations (ECO4), eligible customers could get free installations to upgrade their heating and improve home insulation.
ECO4 is a government energy-efficiency scheme intended to tackle fuel poverty and help reduce carbon emissions in Great Britain.
