The UK Government has published details on how the energy support scheme which will help charities in Northern Ireland this winter.  Discounts will be applied between 1 October 2022 and 31 March 23.

The Energy bill relief scheme will be applied automatically to eligible bills.  The supported price has been set at £211 per megawatt hour (MWh) for electricity and £75 per MWh for gas.

It will not be the same as the final per unit price paid by non-domestic customers, which will also reflect other costs such as network charges and operating costs, plus the impact of competition between suppliers.

Eligibility

The scheme will be available to everyone on a non-domestic contract including voluntary sector organisations such as charities;  businesses; and public sector organisations such as schools, hospitals and leisure centres.

It will apply to those with fixed-price contracts agreed on or after December 2021; new fixed-price contracts; variable 'day ahead' tariffs; deemed/out of contract or standard variable tariffs; or flexible purchase contracts.
