Answer
We are helping households with their energy bills by providing direct financial help, encouraging competition and supporting energy efficiency measures.
Last December, we reviewed Government policy costs and made changes to take an average of £50 a year off a household’s bill and we’re making it easier to shop around, switch and get the best deal.
We are also providing direct financial help to the most vulnerable through the Warm Home Discount, which will take £140 off the energy bills of over 2 million of the poorest households this year.
