Energy (Social Tariff) Bill

The Energy (Social Tariff) Bill requires energy suppliers to offer a subsidised electricity and gas tariff to vulnerable households, ensuring lower bills for people on low incomes, pensioners, disabled people, and those in fuel poverty. The bill sets a maximum price cap on this social tariff and places legal obligations on suppliers to make it available and promote it actively. This aims to reduce energy costs for Britain's most financially vulnerable citizens without relying solely on government subsidies or temporary price caps.
