The green levies to be temporarily suspended from household energy bills are the Energy Company Obligation (ECO), Feed in Tariff (FiT), Green Gas Levy (GGL), Renewable Obligation (RO), and the Warm Home Discount (WHD). The total value per household of average usage of suspending these levies is equivalent to £150 a year and the funding of these levies will be met by the Government through the Energy Price Guarantee during the temporary suspension.
