answer text <p>The government has announced a package of support to help households with rising energy bills, worth £9.1 billion in 2022-23.</p><p> </p><p>This includes a £150 non-repayable council tax rebate from April this year for households in England in council tax bands A-D and £144 million of discretionary funding to support households who need help with their energy bills but are not eligible. The cost of these measures is estimated to be around £3 billion and will be finalised following a reconciliation process to confirm how many rebates have been provided. The devolved administrations will be provided with funding to provide similar support, totalling £576 million that will be distributed through the Barnett formula.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, the package also includes a £200 bill reduction to domestic electricity customers’ bills from October 2022, which will help around 28 million households with the cost of living. From April 2023, costs will be recovered through energy bills over 5 years, up to £40 a year per meter point.</p>
