Households living close to upgraded electricity pylons are to receive an annual £250 discount on their electricity bills under a newly identified rollout of the measure.
The discount will apply to homes situated within 1,600ft of upgraded pylons. Eligible households will receive £250 a year off their electricity costs.
The measure is linked specifically to upgraded pylons, meaning the support is targeted at properties closest to those parts of the electricity network where pylon upgrades are taking place.
The first sites covered by the plan have now been revealed, although the supplied material does not list the individual locations.
For affected households, the main immediate impact will be a direct annual reduction in electricity bills. The latest known position is that eligibility is based on proximity to upgraded pylons, with the qualifying distance set at 1,600ft.
