New £400 energy payment explained as millions set to get discount

Households across the UK are set to get a £400 discount on their energy bills as part of plans by the UK Government to help offset the cost of living crisis.

Approximately 28 million households with a direct domestic electricity contract with their supplier will receive the rebate. It will be distributed via an expansion of the Energy Bills Support Scheme.

If you pay you energy provider directly for the electricity you use, either through normal payment methods or via pre-payment or a smart meter, then you will be eligible for the discount. The money will be deducted from your bill.
