People who use alternative fuel such as heating oil, LPG, coal or biomass will receive £100
The UK Government has issued new guidance on how the £400 Energy Bills Support Scheme will be delivered to people living in park homes, those who do not use gas for heating and tenants who pay for energy as part of their rental agreement.
The newly updated guidance on GOV.UK shares more details on how the £400 discount will be applied to people without a direct domestic electricity connection.If you are not connected to the grid Those households not on standard gas or electricity contracts, such as those living in park homes or on heat networks - and so outside the scheme - will receive support equivalent to both the Energy Price Guarantee and the Energy Bills Support Scheme.
Customers do not need to take any action in order to receive this support, which they will receive by the end of the year. Households eligible for these payments will receive £100 as a credit on their electricity bill this winter. Households who are eligible for but who do not receive AFP or the £100 heat network payment, because they do not have a relationship with an electricity supplier for example, will receive the £100 via the AFP Alternative Fund which will be provided by a designated body.
The UK Government said it will continue to monitor the prices of alternative fuels, such as heating oil, and will consider further intervention if required to protect households from extraordinary fuel prices. Similarly, they will receive the Energy Bills Support Scheme and should pass it on to you - the UK Government is introducing legislation to ensure this happens.
