Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, how many businesses received support through the Energy Bill Relief Scheme; and what the total amount of support received was, by parliamentary constituency.

Answered by Amanda Solloway

The Government’s intervention meant that many businesses saved around half on their wholesale energy costs during Winter 2022/23, with £7.52 billion being delivered through the Energy Bill Relief Scheme (EBRS). For more detail on the expenditure incurred by the EBRS and other departmental energy schemes, I refer my hon. Friend to the Written Ministerial Statement made by my Rt. Hon.

Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether she made an assessment of trends in the level of exports from the offshore wind sector since 2015 and; whether she has made an estimate of their total value.

Answered by Andrew Bowie - Shadow Minister (Energy Security and Net Zero)

The Office for National Statistics publishes estimates of offshore wind exports in Low Carbon and Renewable Energy Economy estimates (LCREE). The table below shows data from 2015 to 2022. It indicates an estimated ten-fold increase over the period, averaging around £2.4 billion for 2021-2022.

Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, how many households received support through the Energy Price Guarantee; and what the total amount of support received was by parliamentary constituency.

Answered by Amanda Solloway

The Energy Price Guarantee (EPG) was introduced in October 2022 to protect millions of households from the rising high cost of energy. Together, the EPG and Energy Bills Support Scheme covered around half of a typical household energy bill between October 2022 and June 2023, with a typical household saving £1,100 through the EPG. For more detail on the expenditure incurred by the EPG and other departmental energy schemes, I refer my hon. Friend to the Written Ministerial Statement made by my Rt. Hon. Friend the Secretary of State on 22 April, Official Report, HCWS421.

The vast majority of households have benefitted from EPG support, paying less for their energy bills than they would have otherwise with no government intervention.
