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

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, when he plans to publish further details on how the energy bills support announced on 8 September 2022 will apply to (a) schools and (b) other public sector organisations.

The Energy Bill Relief Scheme for non-domestic customers was announced on 21 September and details can be found at the link below: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/energy-bill-relief-scheme-help-for-businesses-and-other-non-domestic-customers. The scheme will provide a discount on wholesale gas and electricity prices for all non-domestic customers, including businesses, the voluntary sector and the public sector, including schools. This support will be equivalent to the Energy Price Guarantee put in place for households.
