Warm Home Discount Scheme
Warm Home Discount is a Government-led scheme which requires electricity suppliers to offer additional support to people who are at risk of being fuel-poor by way of a rebate of £150 to eligible customers.
There are three elements to the WHD rebate scheme:
- Core Group 1
Eligible customers in receipt of Guarantee Pension Credit will be identified by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and should receive their rebate from us automatically
- Core Group 2
Eligible customers in England and Wales no longer need to apply and will be identified by the DWP automatically
- Scotland Broader Group
Customers in Scotland who are not eligible for Core Group 1 must apply each year
If you live in Scotland, the Warm Home Discount scheme will work in the same way as previous years
If you're eligible for the Guarantee Credit component of Pension Credit on August 13, 2023, you'll be automatically eligible for the Warm Home Discount - Core Group 1 discount and do not need to apply separately.
To receive the Warm Home Discount - Broader Group rebate, you must apply by February 28, 2024, if you did not meet the Warm Home Discount - Core Group 1 eligibility criteria.
