As part of the Warm Home Discount scheme, participating electricity suppliers are providing financial support to a 'Broader Group' of their low income and vulnerable customers.
Schemes are now starting to open for 2012/13 (Year 2). Please use the contacts below to find out more about the Broader Group schemes and other support available from electricity suppliers. 2011/12 (Year 1) schemes have now closed.
The participating suppliers have had their own sets of eligibility criteria approved by Ofgem and have a limit on the number of customers who can benefit. Consumers who may be eligible could include those on low income with a disability, long term illness or those with young children, but the actual criteria used will vary as it depends on which electricity supplier you are with. A discount of £130 will be issued via the electricity bill of consumers who have been identified under the Broader Group schemes in 2012/13.
