The Consumer Energy Minister is urging people across Nottinghamshire to check whether they can apply for additional support for energy bills. Households may be able to claim up to £600 in support for energy bills through two dedicated schemes, which applications close for on May 31.
To help households manage their energy bills, a range of schemes were set up and support is still available for those that might not recieve this help directly. Minister Amanda Solloway is urging people to check if they are eligible before the schemes close.
The support available includes £400 to those who don’t have a direct relationship with a domestic electricity supplier through the Energy Bills Support Scheme Alternative Funding. This includes farmers, park home residents, houseboats on a fixed mooring and those who live in partly or wholly self-funded care homes.
