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

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what support his Department is providing for (a) electricity-only households and (b) those with inefficient Economy 7 storage heaters which require upgrades.

The Energy Bills Support Scheme (EBSS) is delivering a £400 non-repayable government discount. Electricity suppliers are delivering this support to British households with a domestic electricity meter over six months from October 2022. The Department will closely monitor the impact of prices on consumption over the months ahead and is actively considering how storage heaters are affected by the scheme.
