Something people might not know about, because I didn't until EDF sent an email out of the blue, is that if you're not on gas you may be eligible for another £200 Alternative Fuel Payment, which has been on the boil since last year but since been kicked down the road until this month: https://www.gov.uk/get-help-energy-bills/alternative-fuels From my experience with two households on gas, one on pure electric in a non-gas area, and one solid fuel in a gas-available area, the suppliers seem to be simply using a list of houses with no access to gas (provided through BEIS because our mess of a privatised utility system makes this sort of thing a nightmare, surprise). In our case this means a house on 100% electric has received an AFP (ta very much even if we're not technically eligible), but the one on solid fuel with no gas meter hasn't received anything. Waiting to see if this actually turns up or if we'll need to apply through the as-yet-missing government portal. None of our suppliers have said anything about this (EON or EDF) directly, dunno if others are being more proactive. I'm not sure of the reasoning behind the AFP even existing, except as some sort of sop for people not on gas/electric and so the energy price cap/guarantee doesn't apply to them. I suppose this is the only possible way to deal with it all, rather then something crazy like regulating all fuels at source using our mighty Sovereign Powers.
