ALTERNATIVE FUND ENERGY SCHEMES

Alternative Fuel Payment Alternative Fund (AFP AF) amount of payment £200
Anyone who uses solid fuel to heat their whole property and does have electricity in their home but have not yet received confirmation from their electricity supplier that they will receive the £200 AFP can apply for payment please visit https://www.gov.uk/get-help-energy-bills/alternative-fuels Only use this application if you have not been advised by your electricity company that you will receive the AFP amount in due course. Only one payment of £200 will be made per household.
Those consumers who do have an electricity supplier should already have received the original electricity portion as part of the Energy Bills Support Scheme. Once the £200 is received from the AFP this will put them in line with others in the country who received a total of £400 as users of electricity and gas. So solid fuel users in this case will have received £400 in total as users of electricity and solid fuel.

Energy Bills Support Scheme Alternative Funding (EBSS AF) amount of payment £400
Eligible households who use solid fuel for their whole property heating and don’t have a domestic electricity connection can apply for the above funding of £400 which will bring them in line with others in the country who were eligible because they use gas and electricity to heat their homes. Please visit https://www.gov.uk/get-help-energy-bills/offgrid-park-mobile-care-home

*Please note if you haven’t received any confirmation that you are an eligible solid fuel user it may be that if your property has a gas supply which you do not use to heat your whole property and instead use solid fuel to heat your home you may have slipped through the net. If you think that is the case then please apply to the relevant scheme above.

Dear Merchants

I have just received confirmation about the £100 payment that will be made to those households that do not use gas as their main heating source. As I had previously discovered they will pay this through their electricity supplier. Those who do not have an electricity supplier will receive it in another way to be decided. No details of when it will be paid are available or how they will identify who is eligible yet so I will let you know more when I receive it. I will be getting this information added to the SFA website and SFA and CMF pages at the beginning of next week. This is the government information:-

If you do not use mains gas for your heating
The Alternative Fuel Payment (AFP) will provide a one-off payment to UK households that use alternative fuels for heating, such as heating oil or LPG, instead of mains gas. This £100 payment will ensure that all households who do not benefit through the Energy Price Guarantee to heat their homes, receive support for the cost of the fuel they do use.

Households eligible for these payments will receive £100 as a credit on their electricity bill this winter. Households who are eligible for but who do not receive AFP or the £100 heat network payment, because they do not have a relationship with an electricity supplier for example, will receive the £100 via the AFP Alternative Fund which will be provided by a designated body. We will confirm details of the AFP Alternative Fund shortly.

The details of when this payment will be made will be confirmed shortly. The government is committed to delivering this support to customers as fast as possible.

The £100 payment has been calculated to ensure that a typical customer using heating oil does not face a higher rate of growth in their heating costs since last winter, in comparison to those using mains gas who are supported by the Energy Price Guarantee.

The government will continue to monitor the prices of alternative fuels, such as heating oil, and will consider further intervention if required to protect UK households from extraordinary fuel prices.

The AFP will be provided to all customers who use an alternative fuel to mains gas. This includes, for example, heating oil, LPG, coal, and biomass.


Kind Regards
