Millions to get £150 off energy bills for further five years

The government has announced a continuation of the £150 energy bill discount for six million low-income households, extending the financial relief through to the end of the decade. This measure is designed to provide ongoing support to vulnerable families struggling with energy costs. The discount, which has been a key component of energy support packages, will now be available for an additional five years. This extension aims to offer greater financial predictability and ease for eligible households, helping them manage their essential utility expenses. The continuation of the program underscores the government’s commitment to addressing energy affordability challenges for those most in need.
