Derry City and Strabane Council’s Emergency Fuel Support Programme is expected to open next week, however, there will be no direct gas support.
Receiving an update on the programme, members of the Governance and Strategic Planning committee heard that there were challenges providing support for gas ‘pay as you go’ customers as Firmus said they didn’t have the capacity to operate the scheme in the manner council required.
Gas customers can, however, apply and seek referrals for support for electricity.
