💡 Great news for UK households! The Warm Home Discount scheme has been extended until 2031, offering a £150 rebate on energy bills every winter to help manage those costs. 👏
Energy Secretary Ed Miliband announced this long-term support in response to high energy prices. Now, about six million households can breathe a sigh of relief as they receive this assistance each year. 🌟
Who’s eligible? 🤔 In England and Wales, if you’re receiving a qualifying means-tested benefit, you’re likely on the list! Just make sure your energy supplier serves at least 1,000 customers. And yes, those with prepayment meters will still receive support via top-up vouchers.
Remember, if you haven’t received your eligibility letter by mid-January 2026, call the Warm Home Discount Helpline at 0800 030 9322 before the February deadline! 📞
💬 Industry experts are praising this move, recognising it as a vital lifeline for vulnerable households. While the discount offers immediate relief, the focus is also on driving affordable clean energy solutions to ensure long-term benefits.
