Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, whether the support provided to off gas-grid households intended to be equivalent to that provided through the Energy Price Guarantee will equal the price per kWh between natural gas and heating oil or LPG.

The support provided to off-grid households is intended to ensure comparable outcomes to those on gas. It does not seek to create uniform costs per kWh across differing fuel sources which have always had variable price rates.
