Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, pursuant to the Answer of 9 February 2023 to Question 137949 on Energy Bills Rebate: Park Homes, if he will clarify the Energy Bill Support Scheme Alternative Funding eligibility criteria for park home residents, in the context of those people being likely to be eligible.
Answered by Graham Stuart
If a park home resident receives their electricity via a park site owner with a commercial contract, the park home resident should be eligible for the Energy Bills Support Scheme Alternative Funding. If the park home site owner holds a domestic energy contract, the owner will have received the Energy Bills Support Scheme support automatically in six instalments, and must ensure this is passed onto park home residents in a just and reasonable manner.
