The Government has confirmed details for how its £400 energy payments for all households this winter will work. It's being delivered as part of Energy Bills Support Scheme and will see households start receiving £400 off their energy bills from October, with the discount made in six instalments throughout the winter period
The support will be issued in six instalments over six months to some 29 million households. Business and Energy Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng said: “People across the country are understandably worried about the global rise in energy costs, and the pressure this is placing on everyday bills.
“While no government can control global gas prices, we have a responsibility to step in where we can and this significant £400 discount on energy bills we’re providing will go some way to help millions of families over the colder months.”
