<p>The Government believes that consumers living in a typical building on a heat network
benefiting from the Energy Bill Relief Scheme will still be paying more per year for
their heating than comparable domestic metered gas consumers benefiting from the Energy
Price Guarantee.</p><p> </p><p>For an average property the Government estimated a
£60 differential, but it is important to note that there is a large variation in bills
due to the wide range of technologies and efficiencies of heat networks. The Government
will provide a £100 payment this winter to compensate heat network domestic users
for these higher costs of heating, ensuring they receive equivalent support to other
domestic consumers.</p>
