The Energy Bill Relief Scheme which was covered by a Statutory Instrument (SI) that was resolved yesterday by the Delegated Legislation Committee. As such, it will be passed through the House today.
This scheme will provide a discount on energy bills for eligible non-domestic customers such as businesses, schools and charities (as opposed to the Price Cap Guarantee for domestic homes). Where those businesses and organisations act as intermediaries and purchase electricity or gas on behalf of an end user, they will be required to pass on the discount to the end user. Park home site owners act as intermediaries and will be required to pass on any discounts received to their park home residents (end users).
Discounts will be applied to energy usage initially between 1 October 2022 and 31 March 2023. Energy suppliers will apply reductions to an eligible site owner’s bills between 1 October 2022 and 31 March 2023. The site owner will be required to pass on either all or some of any discount that they receive to their residents in a reasonable and proportionate way. Residents will need to liaise directly with the site owner to discuss whether this will effect you.
