Reintroduce the Energy Bills Support Scheme for winter 2023/24 - Final Signatures: 11,728

Although energy prices are decreasing, they still remain well above normal levels. I believe the best course of action the UK Government can take is to reintroduce the Energy Bills Support Scheme for winter 2023/24 which was a massive help for households earlier this year.

The Government responsed to this petition on 15th December 2023 (View Full Response)
The Government recognises the cost of living challenges families are facing and is continuing to provide support to the most vulnerable households this winter.

The UK decarbonised more than any other G7 country between 1990 and 2021, but oil and gas are essential resources that still supply around three quarters of the UK’s overall energy use today.
