The energy grant is a £400 energy bill discount that will be made to households in England, Scotland and Wales. Households in Northern Ireland will get similar support. The energy bill rebate, which was announced by former chancellor Rishi Sunak, is still in place under the new government and will be joined by prime minister Liz Truss’s Energy Price Guarantee, which aims to limit energy prices to around £2,500 for the average user. For a household with average energy use, the £400 grant coupled with the new cap will result in energy bills rising by 6.5%, significantly lower than the 80% rise that would have occurred without Truss’s energy price cap freeze. Sunak‘s original proposal was for a £200 support scheme that would be clawed back through people’s energy bills. But that was ditched for the £400 energy grant that does not need to be paid back. Instead, it will be funded by a windfall tax on oil and gas companies. How will I get the £400 energy grant? The discount will be spread out over the next six months. Households will get the discount each month, irrespective of their income and whether they pay their bill on a monthly or quarterly basis. You are not required to apply for the discount as it will be automatically applied to your energy account. You should not have to contact your energy supplier unless you have not received the first instalment by the end of October. If you pay for your electricity by pre-paid meter, you should get the discount applied in the first week of every month. You will either get an automatic credit when you top up your card, or you will be sent vouchers by text message, email or through the post – so make sure your energy supplier has up-to-date contact details for you. If you have a “smart” pre-paid meter, the discount will be automatically applied in the first week of every month. If you live in non-standard accommodation – on a caravan park or in a houseboat, for example, or if you live “off-grid”, the government has said it will provide “equivalent support”. If you pay for your electricity as part of your rent – and that covers almost 585,000 people, or 13% of renters, according to Citizens Advice – the landlord must not charge you more for your electricity than they pay for it. So they should pass on the discount to you. Distribution of the £400 energy grant may vary from supplier to provider as the government has left it to them to decide how they want to distribute it. Here’s how each provider is planning to apply it. How will my energy provider apply the discount?
