- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to provide support to businesses that are off grid energy users.
- Answer
-
On 6 February, my Rt. Hon. Friend the then Minister for Climate and Energy announced further information on the Non-Domestic Alternative Fuel Payment Scheme (ND-AFP). Electricity suppliers can now start making payments to eligible off-grid energy users and they will deliver this support up to 10 March. Most customers are expected to receive a credit of £150 on bills later this month and will not need to apply.
A top-up payment in addition to the £150 will be available for large users of heating oil (kerosene) in GB and NI to take account of their higher usage. These top-up payments will require an application to a delivery body and will be banded based on level of usage. The Government will set out further details in the near future.
