Warm Home Discount Scheme

The Warm Home Discount Scheme aims to help customers at risk of fuel poverty. Those eligible receive a payment of £150 towards their electricity bills.

Although the scheme re-opens in October for most energy companies, there are some suppliers who are already taking applications. 

The money is not paid to you - it’s a one-off discount on your electricity bill.

If you live in Scotland, you qualify if you either: 

1. get the Guarantee Credit element of Pension Credit. You automatically qualify so you don’t need to do anything. Payments will be made by 31^st March 2025. 
2. are on a low income and meet your energy supplier’s criteria for the scheme. You will need to apply directly to your supplier

Although the Warm Home Discount Scheme re-opens in October for most energy companies, there are some suppliers who are already taking applications. See below which schemes are open - we'll update the list as each scheme opens.
