Further education colleges will be covered by the prime minister’s pledge for a sixth-month energy “guarantee” for the public sector, government officials have claimed.
But, an industry body has said college leaders cannot be left in the dark on whether longer term support beyond April is coming.
In an address to Parliament on Thursday, Liz Truss said typical homes will not pay any more than £2,500 per year for energy for the next two years, while the government will “also support all businesses, charities and public sector organisations with their energy costs this winter, offering the equivalent guarantee for six months”.
