£150 Off Your Winter Energy Bill
A one-off payment that goes straight towards your heating costs — no repayment, no catch

Staying warm shouldn't mean choosing between heating and other bills. The Warm Home Discount is a UK government scheme that puts a one-off £150 straight towards your electricity bill, applied directly by your supplier. It's a discount, not a loan — nothing to pay back.

ℹ️ Good to know: The scheme runs seasonally and reopens in October each year for that winter. Checking your eligibility here is free — the official confirmation and application happen on GOV.UK.

Who the Warm Home Discount is for

How much is the discount?

£150, taken off your electricity bill by your supplier — not paid as cash.

Do I need to apply?

Many pension-age households on Pension Credit get it automatically. Others may need to apply through their energy supplier, depending on their situation.

Does it cost anything to check?

No — checking your eligibility is free.

What if I have a pre-pay meter?

You're still eligible — the discount is usually applied as a voucher.
