Chancellor to assist low-income UK households with energy costs
The UK government plans to allocate over £1bn in this budget to help poorer households manage rising energy bills, primarily by increasing benefits discounts. Officials are also working on more radical reforms, such as adjusting how energy companies charge customers through proposals like a “social tariff” or a “rising block tariff,” aimed at reducing costs and reforming the energy market. These measures come amid forecasts of significant increases in energy costs, leading the government to prioritize targeted support and potential future reforms.
