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

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, whether the Government plans to place a cap on energy price support provided to households such as those living in park homes or who are on heat networks who do not pay directly for mains gas and electricity.

Where intermediaries benefit from the Energy Price Guarantee, Energy Bills Support Scheme or Energy Bill Relief Scheme, they are required to pass the support they receive to their end users, such as residents of park homes or those on heat networks. Intermediaries should pass on the discount irrespective of how the end user pays for their energy use. If the intermediary charges based on the end user’s usage, they must do this at the same price they pay, including any benefit under the Energy Price Guarantee and Energy Bill Relief Scheme. If the intermediary charges an “all inclusive” rent the intermediary should pass the discount on in a fair and proportionate way.
