This consultation sets out our proposal for calculating the Warm Home Discount (WHD) allowance from cap period eight onwards. The WHD scheme is a government programme with the aim of alleviating fuel poverty.

We propose to use the latest available information from BEIS on the WHD scheme costs at the time we set the cap as the input to estimate the WHD allowance. We also propose to correct any material under or over-allowance for cap period eight in the event that the WHD legislation is not approved by Parliament, BEIS decides to not extend WHD, or the government response and updated target spend indicate a material change in the costs of the scheme.



We are seeking written responses by 17 January 2022.

Update 04/02/2022: We have now published responses to this consultation below on this page
