St Albans electorate
Ms SULEYMAN (St Albans) (14:45): (6391) My constituency question is to the Minister for Energy, Environment and Climate Change, and my question is: what benefits will the 2022 power saving bonus and programs similar to the neighbourhood battery initiative have for local residents in St Albans? I know that households in my electorate are doing it really tough at the moment with the rising cost of living, whether it is through fuel prices, power bills, weekly groceries or rent and mortgages. The 2021 power saving bonus had a massive impact. It was very positive for the residents in my community. It helped to ease the pressure of power bills. My office has assisted thousands of members in applying since the scheme was initiated, showing just how popular and widespread the uptake has been. Whether pensioners or concession holders, they have all benefited.
