Will I get £250 off?
If you live within 500 metres of a new electricity pylon or substation, you'll automatically get £250 off your energy bill each year. This scheme starts next year and aims to compensate communities directly affected by new grid infrastructure. It's part of a wider government plan to upgrade Britain's energy network.
