The Energy Saving Trust is assisting with the package of government measures designed to assist people with their fuel bills  by being ready to offer consumers free, independent, impartial help and advice on energy saving, including grant schemes, on their helpline 0800 512 012, their website www.energysavingtrust.org.uk and via their network of 20 local Advice Centres across the UK.  The average UK household could save £270 a year on their energy bills by taking energy saving measures like insulation and that money will be saved year on year.

The Energy Saving Trust said: We are on the side of consumers and with this in mind, we think the announcement is good news with energy companies having to ensure that consumers know what grants they can qualify for.

There is no one size fits all solution to the challenge of rising energy prices, but we do know that reducing the amount of energy you use, for instance through insulating your loft, is the most cost effective way of saving money and carbon.

Please do remind your constituents that they can access free, impartial expert advice from the Energy Saving Trsut by calling 0800 512 012 or visiting www.energysavingtrust.org.uk
