Households to save an average of 190 on energy bills after latest government move
"Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story."
"From 1 April, energy suppliers should begin to recover costs for the warm home discount scheme from the electricity unit rate, rather than from the standing charge. This will reduce the charge by an average of 40 for the average household, estimates suggest. It comes on top of Rachel Reeves's Budget pledge to reduce household bills by 150 a year through scrapping an energy efficiency programme. Overall, households will benefit from an average of 190 from the two measures combined."
The Independent deploys journalists across reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech, producing investigations and documentaries and offering non-paywalled reporting funded by reader donations. Donations enable on-the-ground reporting, interviews with both sides, and investigations such as probing Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and producing 'The A Word' documentary. UK bill payers will see major energy cost reductions after the government announced standing charges will be reduced. From 1 April suppliers should recover warm home discount costs from the electricity unit rate rather than the standing charge, producing average household savings of 40 and combined average savings of 190 next year; high-usage electric-heated households could save approximately 395.
