In addition to the updates to the Energy Bill Relief Scheme and the Energy Price Guarantee in Northern Ireland, the government today (21 September) has updated the details of its £400 discount.
Households in Northern Ireland will see a unit price reduction for electricity and gas of up to 17p/kWh and 4.2p/kWh respectively, under the Energy Price Guarantee scheme.
The price cap is to be set at £2,500 for two years from October onwards, Prime Minister Liz Truss has announced as part of a range of measures designed to address the energy crisis.
Results from Indra’s vehicle-to-home (V2H) pilot trial have been positive with one participant reporting savings of around £200 on their monthly energy bills.
The energy sector has thrown its weight behind a proposal to bring in fixed contracts for existing generators, to help provide them with long-term security and reduce consumer bills in the short-term.
Conservative leadership candidate Rishi Sunak has pledged to provide additional support for families if elected in September, as predictions for the price cap jumped again this week to pass £4,200.
