SFO arrests four over £44m insulation fraud
The Serious Fraud Office has arrested four people over allegations of fraud linked to the Energy Company Obligation 4 (ECO4) involving the companies Warmfront, JJ Crump and South Coast Insulation Services.
" The allegations are that the companies were involved in a sophisticated conspiracy across the country to undermine the government energy efficiency scheme by submitting claims where little or no work was undertaken. One of the companies involved, Warmfront, was sold in 2024 and is now under new management not connected to the investigation.
It is suspected that energy companies were defrauded of at least £44 million in this way. The SFO is seeking information regarding the case. " all caused by virtually zero oversight of the whole sorry scheme

Serious Fraud Office has arrested four people in connection with alleged fraud on failed ECO 4 scheme
" It comes four months after the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) called for the SFO to investigate the failure of the scheme and the parallel Great British Insulation Scheme, which were found by the National Audit Office (NAO) to have a failure rate of 98%.
Almost all homes fitted with external insulation under the schemes need repairs to fix issues including damp and mould in what PAC chair Geoffrey Clifton-Brown described as the most “catastrophic fiasco” he had seen in 12 years of sitting on the committee. "

Thankfully , I will never need to do that !

My sparky was telling me that you can just put an outdoor socket on, complies with the stipulations! A lot of car chargers just plug into standard 13a plug anyway.There’s an outfit selling dummy chargers for new builds , they look like a 500 quid charger for 35 .
