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

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, how many households were eligible for the Warm Home Discount in (a) 2020-21 and (b) 2021-22.

Energy suppliers were able to expand their eligibility criteria for the Broader Group in previous scheme years, therefore it is not possible to determine how many households were eligible to apply for a rebate.

In 2020/21, 2.26 million households received a rebate. In 2021/22, nearly 2.32 million households received a rebate. These figures were confirmed in Ofgem’s annual reports for scheme years 10 and 11.
