An Energy UK spokesperson said:
“We have been in contact with the Government, Ofgem and Citizens Advice on what actions, protections and practical steps suppliers can take to support customers during these challenging times. Suppliers will be doing all they can to identify customers in vulnerable circumstances and provide support where possible on a case-by- case basis.
“On behalf of the industry, we have been also having discussions with the Government to explore if any additional financial support could be required to help these customers over the coming months.”
