Details
The Energy Price Bill delivers on the commitments made by the Prime Minister on 8 September and will support households and businesses by providing the legislative framework to deliver the government’s Energy Price Guarantee and Energy Bill Relief Scheme.
These schemes will apply to all domestic and non-domestic consumers on the grid and will ensure that support covers the increase in costs from October.
The Bill will also support domestic and non-domestic consumers who are not captured by either scheme, including those using alternative fuels such as heating oil, living in park homes, or those on heat networks.
This unprecedented intervention will help households and businesses manage the rising cost of energy, reduce inflation and support economic growth.
