Millions of families will receive the Warm Home Discount for the rest of the decade, as the government today has confirmed the continuation of the scheme through to 2030/2031.
The extension will see eligible households provided with the £150 rebate on their energy bills every winter until 2030/2031.
This follows the government’s expansion of the Warm Home Discount last year, adding 2.7 million families to the scheme and bringing the total number of eligible households to around 6 million.
Most people entitled to the discount will see the money come straight of their bill.
A small number of households need to provide extra information to ensure they get the discount this winter (2025/2026). If you have received a letter advising you to call the helpline, please do so by 27 February 2026.
Residents tell me regularly about their concerns around the cost of living, and it remains one of my top priorities when speaking to ministers.
As well as the Warm Home Discount for eligible households, from April, all households will also save an average £150 of costs on energy bills, with some consumers set to benefit significantly more – for example a high use electric storage heated household could save more than £400 on costs per year.
I am very pleased to see this action which I know many households in Newport East will benefit from.
