Energy Bills Support Scheme
All households with an electricity supply in England, Scotland, and Wales, will have £400 taken off their energy bills between October 2022 and March 2023. The same support is also available to households in Northern Ireland through the Northern Ireland Energy Bills Support Scheme.
You do not need to apply or contact your energy supplier to receive this discount.

Warm Home Discount Scheme
The Warm Home Discount is available in England, Wales, and Scotland. You could get £150 off your electricity bill for the winter of 2022-23. Your energy supplier must be part of the scheme, and the payment is sent directly to them.
To be eligible, you must either be receiving the Guarantee Credit element of Pension Credit or be on a low income and receiving qualifying benefits or tax credits.
Check if your energy supplier is part of the scheme and find more information on eligibility.
The Warm Home Discount is not available in Northern Ireland, but the Affordable Warmth Scheme is available instead.
