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.

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.

Information on support levels broken down by parliamentary constituency is not held centrally and can only be provided at disproportionate cost.
