British Gas will donate 10 per cent of its profits to help households grapple with soaring energy bills for the “duration of the energy crisis”.
Parent company Centrica took home some £1.34bn in profits in the first six months of the year, representing a vast five-fold increase on earnings of £262m this time 12 months ago.
The scaling profits were not posted without criticism. However, the company has since announced that thousands of customers will receive grants of between £250-£750.
