Energy: Leisure Centres
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they will take to support (1) swimming pools, (2) leisure centres, (3) community facilities, and (4) gyms, after the energy costs relief scheme ends on 31 March.
- Answer
-
The Energy Bill Relief Scheme (EBRS) provides a discount on the wholesale element of gas and electricity bills to ensure that all eligible businesses, including leisure sector and community facilities, are protected from high energy costs this winter period.
Following an HMT-led review, the new Energy Bill Discount Scheme will run from April until March 2024, and will continue to provide a discount to eligible non-domestic customers, including the leisure sector and community facilities.
The Government will also provide over £60 million of new funding for public swimming pools in England for 2023/24.
