The proposals in this consultation would mean that the Warm Home Discount (WHD) Scotland will largely mirror the WHD in place across Great Britain in 2021 to 2022. The primary difference would be that non-core spending would be larger due to the increase in overall spending.

The WHD Scotland will run alongside the expanded and reformed WHD for England and Wales, the details of which are set out in the government response to consultation, published on 1 April. As in the England and Wales scheme, under the WHD Scotland:

  • the value of the rebate would increase to £150
  • the supplier participation thresholds would be lowered so that more energy suppliers participate in the scheme, particularly from 2023 to 2024 onwards
