Utility Bills Debt Help

Energy Secretary John Hutton has engineered a deal with the UK’s six biggest energy companies to potentially help the poorest households meet their fuel bills and clear utility bill debts.

Over the next 3 years, an extra £225 million will be found for social assistance programmes, designed to provide financial support to consumers struggling to pay their gas and electricity bills. The UK’s biggest energy firms who aim to help reduce fuel poverty are British Gas, Scottish & Southern, E.On, Scottish Power, NPower and EDF.
