Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, how many households were (a) eligible for, (b) made an application for and (c) received an Energy Bills Support Scheme Alternative Funding payment in (i) Cynon Valley constituency, (ii) Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough, (iii) Wales and (iv) the UK.

To deliver the energy support at pace the Department developed working assumptions based on estimates. For that reason, estimates of potential eligible households below should not be viewed as populations of households that were eligible for the scheme – but rather working assumptions used to develop policy and ensure funding was made available to local authorities for them to deliver the scheme in a timely fashion.
