Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:
To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they taking to support energy companies to fund support packages for customers this winter.
The Government will continue to deliver the Warm Home Discount, which provides a £150 rebate off energy bills for eligible low-income households. We expect around 3 million households to receive this support this winter.
My Hon. Friend the Minister for Energy Consumers has met with energy suppliers on several occasions and encouraged them to build on the Voluntary Debt Commitment for this winter, and we are continuing to work with suppliers to ensure consumers are supported.
