The Government is working at speed to deliver support for off-grid consumers and will publish details shortly.
Households not on standard gas or electricity contracts – such as some living in park homes or on heat networks - will receive support equivalent to both the Energy Price Guarantee and the Energy Bills Support Scheme.
Equivalent support to the Energy Bills Relief Scheme will also be provided for non-domestic consumers who use heating oil or alternative fuels instead of gas. Further detail on this will be announced shortly.
