Thousands of households across Wales, Scotland and England are being urged to act fast as a £500 one-off energy payment is still available. The support is part of a government-funded ECO4 Scheme helping low-income and vulnerable households cope with rising energy bills before the colder months begin.
If you live in areas like Cardiff, Glasgow, Liverpool or smaller towns across the UK, this payment could give your family immediate relief and even open the door to free home upgrades such as new boilers or insulation. Don’t miss out: Contact Reliant Energy Solutions today to check if your family qualifies.
What is the £500 energy support payment?
The £500 payment is designed to support households struggling to pay their gas or electricity bills. It can be sent directly to your energy supplier or provided as a pre payment voucher for those using a key or card meter. There is also a £300 payment available for single occupants or couples who meet the eligibility rules.
This support is especially valuable for families in colder regions such as Brecon Beacons, the Scottish Highlands, and rural parts of North Yorkshire, where heating costs are often higher due to older properties and longer winters.
