Interim Evaluation of Domestic Energy Affordability Support Schemes in Great Britain

Summary

This interim evaluation assesses the effectiveness of UK government schemes designed to address domestic energy affordability issues in Great Britain, where rising energy costs created financial strain for households. The approach involved multiple support schemes, including the Energy Price Guarantee and Energy Bills Support Scheme, to help households manage their energy bills. The evaluation, covering schemes primarily active during winters 2022/23 and 2023/24, indicates that the support significantly mitigated financial hardship, reduced energy debt, and alleviated concerns about heating homes, although issues like prepayment meter credit exhaustion persisted.
