Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, how many and what proportion of people using heat network schemes received a payment through the Energy Bills Support Scheme as of 20 December 2022.
The Government does not currently have this information. Heat network consumers who have a domestic electricity meter are receiving £400 off their energy bills through the Energy Bills Support Scheme (EBSS). The EBSS Alternative Funding will provide a £400 payment to eligible households who do not have a domestic electricity meter, including heat network consumers on a private wire.
