Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether vouchers that are re-issued as lost or expired are counted separately within the tables provided for payments made under the Energy Bills support scheme.

Suppliers report on a monthly basis how many vouchers have expired that month. They also report how many vouchers they have reissued each month. Reissued vouchers are not factored into 'payments delivered' in the publication tables, this covers only the first time a supplier makes an EBSS payment. The transparency data on Energy Bills Support Scheme GB payments made by electricity suppliers to customers and can be found at:
