On 28th October 2026, the government announced measures to help protect households from rising energy costs. Two of the measures are covered in this page:
- £100 rebate to all households in England whose primary residence is valued in council tax bands A- D.
- A discretionary scheme to allow us to support households who may need further assistance or who are not entitled to the £100 rebate.
Currently we are awaiting details of the scheme, once the Government have published further details of the scheme, we will update this page.
We would encourage customers to sign up to Direct Debit to potentially avoid an application process. The link for this is below.
