Summary
The Liberal Democrats have proposed an "Essential Energy Guarantee" policy that would provide every household with an "Essential Energy Allowance" — a discounted rate on a baseline amount of energy needed to get by. Families with more children would receive extra allowances, and households with additional needs (low incomes, medical equipment like electric wheelchairs or ventilators) would get discounts on all their energy. The party estimates the scheme would save the average household £100 per year.
