Warm Home Discount Scheme

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, if he will make an assessment of the expected financial impact on families of the Warm Homes Discount this winter.

Answered by Martin McCluskey

The Government recognises that we need to support households struggling with bills whilst we transition to clean power by 2030. This is why we delivered the Warm Home Discount to around 3 million eligible low-income households last winter. On 19 June we announced that we are expanding the Warm Home Discount to around an additional 2.7 million households. This means that from this winter, around 6 million low-income households will receive the £150 support to help with their energy bills.
