British Gas has pledged to donate 10 per cent of its profits “for the duration of the energy crisis” to fund support for households struggling with rocketing bills.
Thousands of customers deemed most in need of help will receive an average of £750 per household in grants via the British Gas Energy Support Fund, the supplier said, in an announcement made the day before regulator Ofgem is expected to confirm plans to raise its price cap by 80 per cent to £3,553 in October.
