Domestic Energy Relief Scheme Summary

Sep 13, 2022

Update on UK Domestic Energy Crisis Support

(as of 25 October 2022)

  • UK Gov has introduced “Energy Price Guarantee” for the domestic sector.


  • Typical household will now pay no more than £2,500 a year for the next 6 months from 1 October 2022. This will save consumers around £1000 per year, £150 of which will come from temporary suspension of green levies.


  • ¨ If you’re on a domestic standard variable tariff, the average unit price for dual fuel customers paying by direct debit will be limited to 34.0p/kWh for electricity and 10.3p/kWh for gas, inclusive of VAT, from 1 October.


  • ¨ If you’re on a domestic fixed tariff at a higher rate caused by recent energy price rises, your unit prices will be reduced by 17p/kWh for electricity and 4.2p/kWh for gas.


  • Newly agreed contracts will also be capped at the Energy Price Guarantee if priced above the cap price.


  • The scheme will not be funded through by a windfall tax.


  • Further details to be released following the imminent meeting of Parliament this week.
