The EDF Warm Home Discount Scheme is a government-backed scheme designed to provide help with energy bills UK households may be struggling to pay. This year, the support has been expanded, with more than 600,000 EDF customers set to benefit from a £150 credit. Alongside this, EDF offers extra help through the Priority Services Register, free gas safety checks, grants, and independent financial advice.
On top of this, Purpl members can access exclusive EDF rewards – up to £50 in gift cards when switching or renewing an EDF tariff. With more than 3 million customers and a strong commitment to net zero, EDF continues to be one of the UK’s most trusted suppliers for affordable and reliable energy.
The EDF Warm Home Discount Scheme provides a one-off £150 credit applied directly to electricity accounts or meters.
For 2025 to 2026, the obligated spend is doubling, which means over 600,000 EDF customers will receive support between 20th October 2025 and 31st March 2026.
