How will the scheme help you?
Over the past year, global energy prices have soared, which has led to an unprecedented rise in household energy bills. The Energy Bills Support Scheme has been brought forward to help households in with their energy bills throughout the winter months.
Meaning for independent retailer owners along with the general public, the pressure of increasing energy bills will be decreased.
Here's what you need to know:
- The Energy Bills Support Scheme will deliver a £400 non-repayable discount to eligible households to help with energy bills from October.
- There is no need to apply for the discount. Energy suppliers will deliver this support to GB households with a domestic electricity connection over 6 months from October 2022.
- All households with a domestic electricity connection in Great Britain are eligible for the £400 discount. There is no need to contact energy suppliers concerning this.
- There is no need to contact your supplier as all domestic electricity customers will be automatically eligible. Electricity bill payers should enquire with their supplier if they have not received their first instalment by the end of October.
