Alternative energy grants
Key facts
The government has announced two new funding streams to help residents who have not yet benefitted from energy bill support.
The two schemes are:
- £200 support payment for homes that use alternative fuel sources, such as liquid petroleum gas (LPG), oil or solid fuel.
- £400 support payment for homes that do not have a domestic electricity meter and contract with an electricity supplier.
Applications for both schemes are being managed by the government. We will however carry out local verfication and payment of all claims.
Due to annual billing and the implementation of a new local council tax support scheme, we will not start processing claims until late March/early April 2023, and we expect the first payments to be made in early/mid April 2023.
