British Gas is gearing up to provide thousands of prepayment customers with an extra £250 in energy credit.
The money is intended to help those who are struggling the most with their energy bills to help pay for them following a dramatic rise in costs over the past year. The energy supplier said it will identify those eligible for the extra cash, which means customers will not need to apply.
The move is part of a new £10 million support package by British Gas targeting prepayment customers. Many energy customers have prepayment meters installed in their homes if they fall behind on their energy bills, despite the fact that such meters are more expensive than paying via direct debit, the Mirror reports.
