The Energy Technology List details the energy-saving products that can qualify for Enhanced Capital Allowance (ECA), a tax relief that allows businesses to deduct 100% of their qualifying capital expenditure against their taxable profits in the period of the investment.

The list currently includes over 6,000 products, which meet published energy saving criteria.
