Protected Electricity Limit May Rise to 250 Units
The proposed changes are meant to reduce sudden increases in household bills.
The government is considering raising the protected electricity consumer limit from 200 to 250 units. The protected electricity proposal would also end higher tariffs for six months after a household exceeds the threshold.
The stated aim is to reduce sudden bill increases. The update says the government is considering the changes. It does not say they have been notified or applied.
What the protected electricity proposal would change
The unit limit under discussion would move from 200 to 250. The second change would stop the higher tariff that now runs for six months after a household goes over the threshold. Both steps are proposed, and both are aimed at avoiding a sudden jump in the bill.
Our verdict
The idea on the table is a protected limit of 250 units instead of 200, plus an end to six months of higher tariffs after a household crosses the line. It is still being considered, and it is meant to soften sudden bill increases.
