Written Question
Energy Price Guarantee
Tuesday 1st November 2022

Asked by: Robin Millar (Conservative - Aberconwy)

Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, for what reason the support provided under the Energy Price Guarantee scheme for households that are off-grid will be limited to £100.

Answered by Graham Stuart

The Alternative Fuel Payment (AFP) will ensure that all households who do not benefit through the Energy Price Guarantee (EPG) receive support for the cost of the fuel they do use.

The payment has been calculated by reference to past increases in the cost of heating oil between September 2021 and September 2022. It aims to ensure that a typical customer using heating oil will not face a higher rate of growth from October 2022 than those supported by the EPG.

The AFP will limit the increase in heating costs to 130% for a typical household, in line with the benefit offered by the EPG: https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/bills/cbill/58-03/0159/AnnexB.pdf.
