The Government is committed to ensuring the costs of the UK's energy transition are fair and affordable for all users. Exposure to volatile global gas prices underscores the importance of the UK's plan to build a strong, home-grown renewable energy sector and the Government is looking at a range of options for longer term market reform.

The Government is providing robust support for households, through the Energy Price Guarantee and the targeted support for the most vulnerable households, and for businesses via the Energy Bills Relief Scheme until March 2023 and the Energy Bills Discount Scheme until March 2024.
