GPs eligible for six-month energy bills cap

As reported by the Government, Prime Minister Liz Truss sets out decisive action to support people and businesses with their energy bills

While the majority of UK non-domestic customers are on fixed price energy deals, some are not. Businesses did not benefit from the Ofgem price cap and there was a risk that some would fall through the gap, unable to fix their energy price and unable to access the kind of support we are making available to households.

A new six-month scheme for businesses and other non-domestic energy users (including charities and public sector organisations like schools) will be offered support as is being provided for consumers.

After this initial six-month scheme, the government will provide ongoing focused support for vulnerable industries.

There will be a review in three months’ time to consider where this should be targeted to make sure those most in need get support.
