Energy: Prices
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government what support they intend to provide to households to adapt to changes in energy prices.
- Answer
-
Energy prices have fallen significantly since winter 2022-23, and the Quarter 2 2024 price cap of £1,690 has fallen by nearly 60% since the Quarter 1 2023 price cap peak. Despite this, the Government has committed to supporting households in 2024-25, with a further cut to National Insurance contributions down to 8%, an increase to benefits of 6.7%, and the largest increase to the National Living Wage.
The Warm Home Discount continues to provide a £150 rebate off energy bills for eligible low-income households until 2025-26.
