A £6 million energy fund has been launched by E.ON to help those struggling to pay energy bills.

The independently-run fund, managed by Charis Grants, has been set up following E.ON's commitment to Ofgem in September 2014 to give back closed credits to vulnerable people who meet its eligibility criteria

The energy fund will be available to pensioners, families, people with disabilities and those who are on low incomes, regardless of their energy supplier.


E.ON UK Chief Executive, Tony Cocker, said: "Our £6 million E.ON Energy Fund has been established to ensure that the people who need the most help can benefit from real support.

"We're speaking to a number of organisations, such as Citizens Advice and Age UK, to spread the word about our new fund and to help drive referrals and applications. Successful applicants could receive help with settling debts on their energy bills and support in the form of a new energy efficient boiler, washing machine, or fridge/freezer."
