Octopus Energy has given away 5,000 electric blankets to some of its vulnerable customers amid soaring energy bills.
Electric blankets can provide a cheaper alternative to central heating.
The move is believed to keep customers’ energy bills as low as possible.
Leeanne Denton, an Octopus customer tweeted: “Just received my heated blanket from Octopus Energy, perfect timing on such a cold day.”
With the new price cap already in force, billpayers have been hit hard by the rising cost of living.
A study by Resolution Foundation found that more than five million English households could be pushed into fuel stress after the latest increase in energy bills.
