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

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, how LPG consumers who are not also domestic electricity customers will receive their entitlement through the Energy Bills Support Scheme.

The Government is aware that not all households have their electricity provided through a domestic electricity supply contract and are connected to the electricity grid. This was covered the Government’s technical consultation (Energy Bills Support Scheme – Managing the impact of the energy price shock on consumer bills) which closed on 23 May. Households without a domestic electricity supply contract are not eligible for the Scheme and the government is exploring options for other ways in which they might receive similar support. Responses to the consultation are being analysed and the Government’s response will be published in the summer.
