Energy: Prices

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what recent assessment his Department has made of the cost of energy bills in Harpenden and Berkhamsted.

Answered by Martin McCluskey

No specific assessment has been made for Harpenden and Berkhamsted.

Tackling affordability is this government’s number one priority, and we are taking action. Our decisions at last year’s Budget took an average of £150 of costs off of energy bills. Decisions are now factored into bills for the years to come and mean the rise in the energy price cap from 1st July is significantly lower than it would have been. In addition, the £150 Warm Home Discount has been expanded to cover around 6 million households across Great Britain.
