Expanding the Warm Home Discount Scheme 2025/26

This consultation sets out proposals to expand the reach of the Warm Home Discount Scheme by removing the high-cost-to-heat threshold in the current Warm Home Discount (England Wales) Regulations 2022 (for winter 2025/26) and proporationally increasing the level of spend available in Scotland for suppliers to allocate through the Broader Group. All households in receipt of means-tested benefits would then be eligible to receive the £150 rebate. Additionally, it proposes to extend the Park Homes WHD scheme to include other individuals without a direct relationship with an energy supplier while maintaining the current budget. The consultation seeks input from consumers, consumer groups and charities, Warm Home Discount recipients and obligated energy suppliers.
