The Government has announced more help for households in paying energy bills this winter, with gas and electricity prices set to go up again from October 1. The latest measures include support for people who have previously missed out on the £400 announced by Rishi Sunak, the other raft of measures announced by the Government for people on welfare and pensions or the £2,500 cap announced by Liz Truss.
It includes people in caravan parks; on ‘shared heat networks’ in blocks of flats; who live off-grid; who rely on heating oil instead of gas; and who pay ‘all-in’ to a landlord, reports The Mirror.
The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) said new funding will help “the 1% of households who would not otherwise have received” a £400 discount off energy bills this winter.
