Delivering heating oil support in practice: from identification to payment With funding now being allocated for heating oil support, many councils are facing a practical challenge: How do you identify the right households and deliver support quickly, in a way that actually works? Unlike gas and electricity, heating oil is purchased through a fragmented supplier network. That makes it harder to: • target support accurately • ensure funds are used as intended • deliver at pace without creating additional admin This session brings together a practical, end-to-end approach to solving that. ____________________ What we’ll cover We’ll walk through how councils are approaching this in practice, including: • Identifying households using off-grid energy and under financial pressure • Targeting support using existing data and tools • Delivering support in a way that works with heating oil suppliers • Tracking and reporting on how funds are used • Standing this up quickly, without building new infrastructure ____________________ Who you’ll hear from • Policy in Practice – how councils are identifying and targeting households using data • Huggg – how support can be delivered and tracked once approved • A local authority – sharing real-world experience of delivering similar support ____________________ Why attend This is not a product demo. It’s a chance to: • hear how others are solving this now • understand what a practical delivery model looks like • ask questions and discuss approaches with peers facing the same challenge There will be time for open discussion and Q&A. ____________________ Who should attend • Cost of Living / CRF leads • Revenues & Benefits teams • Welfare and financial support teams • Programme and delivery leads ____________________ Context With wider pressure on household energy costs, this is likely to become a broader issue beyond heating oil alone. The approaches discussed here can be applied more widely as councils respond to future energy support requirements.	1/4/2026j/n/Y	11:00am BST2026-04-01T10:00:00Zg:ia T	1 hour	Register
