Domestic Energy Affordability Support Schemes Impact and Economic Evaluation Final report

Summary

This report evaluates the UK government's domestic energy affordability support schemes, implemented in response to significant rises in global energy prices and the resulting cost of living crisis for households. The schemes, including the Energy Price Guarantee and Energy Bill Support Scheme, aimed to mitigate these impacts, and were assessed for their effect on energy consumption, fuel poverty, household expenditure, and health. The evaluation concludes that the schemes substantially reduced fuel poverty by 3 million households and had a near break-even or positive social value, despite significant Exchequer costs of approximately £36 billion.
