More Than four million struggling households are set to save £45 a year on energy bills from 1 July, the government has said.

Households which have prepayment meters are typically Vulnerable or on low incomes.

The Extra charges struggling households would have paid will instead be met under the government-funded Energy Price Guarantee at a cost of £200m.
Regulator Ofgem will report on How To permanently end the " prepayment penalty" when that government support ends in April 2024, the Treasury said.
Prepayment meters have been under the spotlight in recent months.

Ofgem, which is, told energy firms at The End of February whose homes were wrongfully fitted with a prepayment meter.
Firms were banned from installing prepayment energy meters under warrant, but that is due to end at The End of March.
In November Last Year it was revealed that a rising number of households are.
Energy Security Secretary Grant Shapps said: " Charging prepayment meter customers more to receive their energy is a tax on some of our most Vulnerable - this change will stop that. "
Labour said the government had " finally listened" to its calls for " an end to The Unfair prepayment meter penalty".
" Their delay will be Cold Comfort for the millions of prepayment customers who have been paying higher energy bills as a result of the government's indecisiveness, " said Ed Miliband, Labour's shadow climate and net zero secretary.
In addition to prepayment help, the government is expected to extend the Energy Price Guarantee at current levels for a further three months.
Typical household energy bills were going to rise to £3,000 a year from April, the government is expected to retain its current level of support with the cap at £2,500.
