The hell is it means tested.

"The Home Heating Cost Reduction Obligation (HHCRO) under which
suppliers provide measures which improve the ability of low income and
vulnerable households to affordably heat their homes."

And

https://www.gov.uk/energy-company-obligation

"Eligibility

You must own your property or rent it privately and have the owner’s
permission to do the work.

You must also get one of the following benefits:

Pension Credit
Child Tax Credit (and your income is £16,010 or less)
Working Tax Credit (and your income is £16,010 or less)
Income Support
income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance
income-related Employment and Support Allowance
Universal Credit (and you earned £1,250 or less after tax in any
assessment period in the last 12 months)"

Looks like means testing to me?

Or live in certain areas where the above doesn't apply?

Of course, but if we were comparing like for like?

The only questions asked we
can we do at least 2/3 of the loft.
do you have less than 270mm of insulation.
do you have the owner permission.

Yes, but that is a very specific instance and again, not the spirit of
the general discussion ... and that was ...

Why should other electricity users be expected to pay money TO those
who can afford to put solar panels on their property, even when they
use the energy they produce themselves?

Why would the be expected to pay more than the current commercial
rates and have such payments index linked and guaranteed?

The whole idea is preposterous! ( And especially so considering how
bogus the 'green' principal it's all supposed to be based on is).

Now, if you were forced to export some of the hot water (or in your
specific case, hot air weg) you generate towards heating the village
hall then that is completely different. ;-)
