Starmer's plan cuts energy bills, extends fuel tax cuts, and aids heating oil users amid global tensions.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer has unveiled a five-point plan to ease rising energy costs, focusing on heating oil users and vulnerable households.
A £53 million emergency fund will support areas reliant on heating oil, such as Northern Ireland, while all households will receive a £150 energy bill discount in 2026.
Energy bills for the most vulnerable will be cut and capped for three months, with energy firms required to pass on savings from last year’s budget.
The energy price cap will remain unchanged through summer, with no expected increases and possible slight reductions.
The 5p-per-litre fuel duty cut on petrol and diesel has been extended to September 1, 2026.
Starmer warned further support may be introduced if Middle East tensions cause prolonged oil shortages.
El plan de Starmer reduce las facturas de energía, extiende los recortes de impuestos a los combustibles y ayuda a los usuarios de petróleo para calefacción en medio de tensiones globales.
