Warm Home Discount Scheme
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether he plans to extend the Warm Home Discount beyond 2026.
Answered by Miatta Fahnbulleh
The current Warm Home Discount scheme period comes to an end in March 2026. Since the scheme began in 2011, over £4 billion has been provided in support to eligible households. The Warm Home Discount is expected to support over 3 million households in Great Britain over winter 2024/25, funded through a levy on all domestic gas and electricity customers. It remains an important support mechanism as energy bills remain high. We will consult later this year on the future of the scheme beyond 2026.
