Although energy prices have reduced in recent months, they remain significantly higher than they were before the energy crisis. It will come as no surprise that more EDF customers are in debt compared to a year ago. With an expected increase to the price cap in October and again in January, we’re committed to supporting our customers through these challenging times. We’re investing all our profits back into Britain to help bring down future energy costs for customers and the country achieve net zero. We’ve also spent £27 million since last October to help vulnerable customers, including by providing direct financial assistance to those in debt. But we know more is needed. We’ve set out three urgent priorities for the new Government, to address energy affordability; ➡️ Review the Great British Insultation Scheme to enable greater uptake, reducing bills permanently ➡️ Introduce targeted energy bill support through a social tariff to protect those on fixed and low incomes ➡️ Create a central database of vulnerable households using government data to help target support to those most in need Let’s work together to create a more sustainable, affordable energy future for all.
