Warm Home Discount (Scotland)

Scotland

A £150 energy bill discount under Scotland’s own Warm Home Discount rules.

What you get

A one-off £150 discount off your electricity bill, as described on the main GOV.UK Warm Home Discount overview (the amount is the same official figure as in England and Wales). GOV.UK says you may need to apply directly to your energy supplier if you live in Scotland. Eligibility is set by Scottish Government ministers under the Warm Home Discount Scheme (Scotland) Regulations 2026.

Who can get it

You must live in Scotland and meet the Scottish scheme’s eligibility rules, and be a customer of a participating supplier. Do not assume the England and Wales qualifying-benefit list is identical — check GOV.UK’s Scotland eligibility page or your supplier.

How to apply

Check the GOV.UK page for people who live in Scotland and follow your supplier’s application process if you are not paid automatically.
