The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps he is taking to help reduce the cost of electricity.

Answered by Miatta Fahnbulleh

Earlier this year we announced plans to extend the Warm Homes Discount to an extra 2.7 million families, meaning a total of 6 million households will get £150 off their bills next winter. We are taking these short term steps whilst we progress our mission to deliver a clean power system by 2030. This is the way to break our dependence on global fossil fuel markets and protect billpayers permanently.
