Millions of households will receive a £400 discount on their energy bills later this year as families continue to struggle against the cost of living crisis.
The new support was confirmed as a replacement for the £200 "loan-not-loan" that would've needed to be paid back starting from 2023.
However, the £400 discount is still half the figure of what the boss of Ofgem expects energy bills to rise by from October - meaning families still face hugely increased costs.
