Households are due to be credited with the payment to help with energy costs this winter
The £400 energy discount for households in Northern Ireland may not be paid until January, the Utility Regulator has revealed.
The scheme was due to be rolled out from November, according to former Prime Minister Liz Truss but no further details on the timeframe for receiving this money off bills have been revealed.The UK government has said it's "working at pace to deliver a solution which accounts for differences in the Northern Ireland energy market so it can get to households as soon as possible".
"The final decision hasn't been made yet, but will be made within the next few weeks," Mr Shiels told BBC Radio Ulster's Evening Extra programme on Tuesday. The government has also previously announced a £100 payment will be paid to home heating oil customers in Northern Ireland.The £100 will be delivered as a top-up to the £400 Energy Bills Support payment, which is going to all UK households.
