Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether she plans to (a) re-open and (b) extend the application deadline for the Energy Bill Support Scheme Alternative Funding for those who did not receive the support for winter last year.
The Government currently does not have any plans to re-open the Energy Bills Support Scheme Alternative Funding which closed to new applications on 31 May 2023. The government recommends that any household that was unable to access this support visits the ‘Help for Households’ webpage on GOV.UK to view what other support they may be eligible to receive - https://helpforhouseholds.campaign.gov.uk/.
