Subsidise a 'basic' amount of electricity for households

Petition Details

The Government should fund a subsidised amount of electricity based on Ofgem’s estimate of the average household use and occupancy. This amount would be charged at a rate similar to 2020 prices. Extra usage after this would be at new higher prices.

Additional Information

We cannot avoid the fact that energy has become expensive given world events. But we can choose policies that protect the most vulnerable in society. This proposal is cost neutral (the prices for heavy users will be a bit higher to compensate for the discounted power at the low end) but prevents the poor being proportionately harder hit.
