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

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, pursuant to the Answer of 30 January 2023 to Question 132590, whether households that do not have a traditional relationship with an electricity supplier could be identified by comparing the data sets held by the Electricity Central Online Enquiry Service with the Valuation Office Agency’s register of all domestic properties in England.

Based on current understanding of the Valuation Office Agency's register, the Government believes that comparing these two datasets is likely to produce an incomplete list of households eligible for the EBSS Alternative Funding in England, as it may omit certain eligible households. Officials will undertake further work to ascertain the viability of this approach.
