This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

The decision to implement a credit voucher scheme for utility companies using salary sacrifice would be a matter for individual employers and utility companies. You could start a new petition asking the Government to set up a special scheme for those working from home, such as the winter fuel allowance, if that's something that you'd like to see.
