Energy: Prices
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government what measures they are implementing to alleviate the financial burden of energy bills on struggling households, while ensuring the energy market stays resilient.
- Answer
-
The Government is continuing to support those most in need, with millions of vulnerable households receiving up to £900 in further Cost of Living Payments. This is in addition to support available to low-income and vulnerable households, including £250 - £600 through the Winter Fuel Payment and an annual rebate of £150 off their energy bills through the Warm Home Discount.
Energy prices have also significantly fallen in the past year alone and the Q1 2024 price cap of £1,928 has more than halved compared to Q1 2023 when the price cap peaked at £4,279.
