We recently released an article about the domestic fuel payment promised to the people of Northern Ireland, which received great feedback. Here’s a new update with the latest information.
The UK and Ireland Fuel Distributors Association (UKIFDA) has announced important news as a representative of the liquid fuels distribution industry, promoting business efficiency and advocating for best practices.
‘’UKIFDA is aware that a Department for Business Energy and Industrial Strategy minister has confirmed to MPs that the Domestic Alternative Fuel Payment of £200 will be made in the New Year. The payment mechanism for most customers continues to be through their electricity bills, with additional information expected shortly.
This extra clarity is important as it means customers can plan their budgets accordingly. We continue to strongly advise customers to purchase their heating oil as usual ahead of cold weather. The best and most economical approach is to talk to local distributors on a regular basis and not leave purchases to the last minute.’’
What does this tell us?
The fuel payment is a welcome initiative as the government aims to support constituents during tough times. This grant will help keep homes warm for a couple of months during the cold. Although it starts in January, homeowners can plan their budgets knowing they’ll have extra income then.
