Households across the UK will get more than £60 off their energy bills each month throughout winter, it has been confirmed. The £400, part of a package announced in May this year, will come in six instalments over six months to around 29 million households.
Bill-payers will see £66 taken off their energy bills in October and November, and £67 between December and March, as the UK Government revealed the details of its cost-of-living support. The announcement illustrates how the £400 support package revealed in May will be paid out.
The help, which also came alongside more targeted efforts for less-financially secure households, came in response to predictions that energy bills would rise to £2,800 for the average household in October. But since then the forecasts have predicted bills could hit £3,420 per year from October, before rising further in January.
