In June the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero announced the £150 warm home discount will be extended to another 2.7 million households across Great Britain to help with fuel costs next winter.

This will bring the number of households eligible for the rebates up to just over 6 million.

Introduced in 2011, the Warm Home Discount Scheme requires larger energy suppliers to support low-income households with their energy costs through direct £150 rebates on their electricity bills.
