Energy Bills Support Scheme
You’re getting help with your energy bills
Through the government’s Energy Bills Support Scheme, all households in Great Britain with an electricity supply are getting a £400 grant to help with the cost of rising energy bills.
The £400 payment will most likely be spread over the Winter period, starting in October. You don’t need to pay it back.
The government is still finalising the scheme, and how the credit will be paid to customers, but you can find the latest information on the Energy Bills Support Scheme on the government website. We’ll keep this page updated, too.
