(asked on 2nd March 2022) - View Source

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what support he will provide to residents of park homes who are not eligible for the energy bill rebate because their energy is supplied direct to the operating business and then recharged to the resident.

All domestic electricity customers in Great Britain will receive a £200 reduction in their electricity costs from this October. This will be delivered via energy suppliers and will be clearly identifiable as a line item on electricity bills.

There are certain situations where a third party will be responsible for the bill (and be named on it). In this situation, any electricity charges are then passed onto the end user, typically through an all-inclusive rent (in the case of a landlord/tenant) or ‘pitch’ charges, e.g. for a park home.

The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) will explore this issue further, including by gathering further information via the government consultation on the delivery of the Energy Bill Support Scheme for households.
