This document constitutes the contribution from the Committee on Fuel Poverty (CFP) to the BEIS consultation, Energy Bills Support Scheme.
Through this Scheme, the government will provide funding to all energy suppliers for them to pass a £200 reduction on to their domestic electricity customers. This will be recovered through electricity bills over 5 years starting from 2023 to 2024. This is a universal measure to help households smooth out the increased costs of energy bills at a time when they are particularly high.
