Warm Home Discount Scheme is a Government initiative designed to support lower income households through the winter. If your household qualifies, you will receive a one-off credit of £150 to your energy account which can be used towards your bills.
The scheme runs from September 2025 through March 2026. We aim for all eligible customers to receive their credits by the end of March 2026.
If you joined So Energy after 24 August 2025 your previous supplier will still be obligated to provide you with the rebate (providing they are taking part in the scheme) even though you are no longer their customer. If your energy supplier went out of business, please contact the supplier that took over (as part of the Supplier of Last Resort Process) for more information.
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) plans to send out letters to eligible customers and customers that might be eligible. Those households who they suspect might be eligible but more information is needed will need to contact the WHD Helpline as advised in the letter.
However, receiving a letter is not a requirement to apply for the Core Group - if you think you are eligible you can apply on the WHD Helpline on 0800 030 9322, until 27 February 2026.
The Warm Home Discount credit is applied by your electricity supplier, but if you also have gas with us it will go towards your overall account balance.
Broader Group applications for households based in Scotland are now closed for 2025/2026.

You will need to be a So Energy customer to apply for the Broader group scheme with us. If you’re not currently a customer you can switch your energy to us and apply for the scheme if you’re eligible. If you’re looking to switch to us please remember there are a limited number of applications each year and they are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis.
We will be reviewing applications throughout the duration of the scheme and will provide email confirmation once your application has been reviewed. Please make sure to check your emails regularly, as we may need to request additional information to progress your application. You can log in to your online account at any time to see an update on the status of your application.
Applications for 2025/2026 will receive their credit by 31st March 2026. Please note that you will need to be on supply with So Energy to receive the award.
