Heating: Costs
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, whether he is taking steps to provide support with heating costs for households that use wood pellets for heating in the context of rises in the cost of wood pellets.
- Answer
-
The Alternative Fuel Payment will provide a one-off payment to UK households that use alternative fuels for heating. This will come in addition to the £400 provided by the Energy Bills Support Scheme, and a further £800 of one-off support provided to eight million of the most vulnerable households to help with the cost of living.
The Government will continue to monitor the prices of alternative fuels and will consider further intervention if required to protect UK households from extraordinary fuel prices.
