Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy written question – answered at on 17 October 2022.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what medium his Department plans to use to provide the additional payment of £100 to households who are not able to receive support for their heating costs through the Energy Price Guarantee to compensate for the rising costs of alternative fuels such as heating oil as announced on 21 September 2022.
Households in Great Britain eligible for these payments will receive £100 as a credit on their electricity bill this winter. Households who are eligible for but who do not receive Alternative Fuel Payment or the £100 heat network payment, because they do not have a relationship with an electricity supplier for example, will receive the £100 via the Alternative Fuel Payment Alternative Fund, which will be provided by a designated body. The Government will confirm details of the AFP Alternative Fund shortly.
