The Alternative Funding will support households not eligible for the Energy Bills Support Scheme as they do not have a domestic electricity connection. The Government’s priority is to work with delivery partners to provide the £400 support to households at their primary residence. Eligibility, timescales and method of delivery will be announced in the coming weeks.
