In addition to the £400 support from the Energy Bill Support Scheme and the £100 one off Alternative Fuel Payment, households reliant on domestic heating oil and LPG, but who use electricity for their other energy needs, will benefit from the electricity component of the Energy Price Guarantee.
Households in Great Britain eligible for these payments will receive £100 as a credit on their electricity bill this winter. Households who are eligible for but who do not receive Alternative Fuel Payment or the £100 heat network payment, because they do not have a relationship with an electricity supplier for example, will receive the £100 via the Alternative Fuel Payment Alternative Fund, which will be provided by a designated body. The Government will confirm details of the AFP Alternative Fund shortly.
The details of when this payment will be made will be confirmed shortly. The Government is committed to delivering this support to customers as quickly as possible.
