Millions to get £150 off energy bills for further five years
The scheme helps six million households with a £150 winter rebate and follows an expansion adding 2.7 million families, aiding affordability amid high energy costs.
- The UK Government announced the Warm Home Discount scheme will continue each winter through to 2030/31, with around six million eligible households receiving 150 pounds annually.
- Amid soaring wholesale prices, ministers said the extension aims to help households amid the ongoing cost-of-living crisis driven by soaring wholesale energy prices.
- Those claiming means-tested benefits in England and Wales will be automatically included if their supplier has over 1,000 customers, with Scottish households receiving the rebate next winter, officials said.
- From April, families across the UK will benefit from a £150 reduction on energy bills, with some high-use electric storage-heated households saving over £400 annually, officials say.
- The government is consulting on shifting discount recovery to suppliers and the per‑kWh unit rate, while Regulator Ofgem raised the energy price cap by 0.2% in January.
