It could help millions of households
Experts have predicted sky high energy bills this winter as the average cost of gas and electric bills could reach £3,245 per year. New research from National Energy Action suggests one in three UK households could face fuel poverty.
Help with soaring energy bills Some 28 million households across the UK with a direct domestic electricity contract with their supplier are set to receive a £400 rebate through an expansion of the Energy Bills Support Scheme. Direct debit and credit customers will have the money credited to their account, while customers with pre-payment meters will have the money applied to their meter or paid via a voucher.
Will I be eligible for the Energy Bills Support Scheme? All households with a domestic electricity connection will be automatically eligible for the £400 grant. There is no need to contact energy suppliers concerning the rebate. When will more clarity on the design and delivery of the £200 credit be available? The UK Government explained: “We are working on the specifics of delivery and are actively engaging with energy suppliers, consumer groups and Ofgem to ensure that delivering this grant is as simple and efficient as possible.
