Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask His Majesty's Government whether the Energy Bill Support Scheme will be rolled out in Northern Ireland in November this year.
Households in Northern Ireland will receive a £400 discount on their energy bills through the Northern Ireland Energy Bills Support Scheme (NI EBSS) this winter.
This offers the same level of support as households in Great Britain are receiving under the Energy Bill Support Scheme (EBSS). The Government is working at pace to deliver a solution which accounts for the Northern Ireland market and to provide the support as soon as possible this winter.
