Martin Lewis gives exact date households given £150 off British Gas, EON and EDF bills
Money expert Martin Lewis has revealed that households will receive a £150 deduction on their energy bills, effective from 6 October 2023. This reduction applies to customers of major energy suppliers, including British Gas, EON, EDF, Octopus Energy, Utilita, and OVO.
The £150 credit will be automatically deducted from the bills of eligible households. Lewis emphasized that "the government has clear expectations this cut will be passed on in full by suppliers," ensuring that consumers receive the full benefit of the reduction. This initiative aims to alleviate some financial pressure faced by households amid increasing energy costs.
By putting this measure into action, the government hopes to provide some relief to its citizens as they navigate a challenging economic climate. As the energy crisis continues to impact consumers, the timely injection of these savings will be welcomed across the nation. Further details will be provided by energy firms to clarify the mechanics of how these discounts will be applied to individual accounts.
