The UK government announced a £150 average reduction in household energy bills effective from April 2026, as part of the Autumn Budget. The cut is on top of an extended £150 Warm Home Discount, which will now cover around 2.7 million poorer households, bringing the total to about 6 million recipients. The savings come from ending the Energy Company Obligation (ECO) at 31 March 2026 and moving 75 % of Renewables Obligation (RO) costs to general taxation. The changes are designed to lower policy costs on the bill; they will be passed to customers on fixed tariffs from April 2026 and will continue to affect bills for the next three years. For a typical dual‑fuel household the average saving is £134, while high‑use electric households could see savings of up to £442.
