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

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, whether heat network consumers not able to access the existing Default Tariff Price Cap will have access to the discretionary fund to be established to provide financial support for those not eligible for the Energy Bill Support Scheme or the new Energy Price Guarantee announced on 8 September 2022.

Households not on standard gas or electricity contracts, such as those on heat networks – and so outside of the support schemes – will receive support equivalent to both the Energy Price Guarantee and the Energy Bills Support Scheme. The Government is working at speed to determine the most practical and tested routes to deliver this support.
