Energy: Social Tariffs

Asked by Clive JonesLiberal DemocratDepartment for Energy Security and Net ZeroTabled Answered 11 March 2025UIN 35079

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what discussions he has had with the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions on data sharing to identify households eligible for energy social tariffs.

Answered by Miatta Fahnbulleh

The department is working closely with other government departments, including the Department for Work and Pensions, to understand how we can better use and share data to better target support at customers that need help. I am also leading a working group with Energy UK and other stakeholders to consider how we can take further sustained action on improving affordability and accessibility of energy.
