The government has unveiled a new package of support aimed at helping households, businesses and public sector organisations with rising energy bills.
The plans announced by Business Secretary Jacob Rees-Mogg have been designed to 'support growth, prevent unnecessary insolvencies and protect jobs', ministers have said.
Through a new Energy Bill Relief Scheme, the government said it will provide a discount on wholesale gas and electricity prices for all non-domestic customers - including all UK businesses, the voluntary sector like charities and the public sector such as schools and hospitals. It added that the support will be equivalent to the Energy Price Guarantee put in place for households.
