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

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, how the £100 payment to support households who are off-grid with the energy bills will be paid to those households.

Households in Great Britain eligible for these payments will receive £100 as a credit on their electricity bill this winter. Households that are eligible for but do not receive Alternative Fuel Payment or the £100 heat network payment, because they do not have a relationship with an electricity supplier for example, will receive the £100 via the Alternative Fuel Payment Alternative Fund, which will be provided by a designated body. The Government will confirm details of the AFP Alternative Fund shortly.
