Millions will receive £150 each winter until the winter of 2030, the Government has said, as it extends its Warm Home Discount to the end of the decade. It pays a £150 credit into the energy accounts of low-income and vulnerable customers each year. Average energy bills reached £1,758 a year over the winter in England, Scotland and Wales, with the energy price cap once again increasing. Separately, the Government said it will cut the average household bill by £150 from April as a result of scrapping the Energy Company Obligation scheme. People who have not received the discount but think they may be eligible can call the discount scheme on 0800 030 9322 until 27 February.
