Energy: Prices

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps his Department is taking to help households reduce energy bills.

Answered by Miatta Fahnbulleh

The Government believes the only way to protect billpayers permanently is to speed up the transition towards homegrown clean energy and remove our dependence on volatile international fossil fuel markets.

Whilst we transition to clean power by 2030, we will help families reduce their energy bills through our Warm Homes Plan which will upgrade homes across the country to make them warmer and cheaper to run. The Government will continue to provide additional support to vulnerable households struggling to pay their bills through our Warm Homes Discount.
