As well as this, OVO is going to provide free smart thermostats to help customers reduce their heating costs. They are also providing free electric blankets so people can reduce their need to put on the heating for their entire home.
The firm has also launched a new charity partnership with the Trussell Trust to support food banks to meet increased needs this winter.
The energy firm also stated that it was to continue its partnership with debt charity StepChange to provide support for people facing severe financial difficulty worth £2million.
Stephen Fitzpatrick, founder of OVO said: “The stakes are high but the scale of ambition needs to be higher. With the new Prime Minister due to arrive next week, there isn’t a moment to waste to find a way out of this crisis.
“Important and difficult decisions need to be made quickly. Some of these will need to take immediate effect, some in the months and years ahead. But we must start now.
“At OVO, we will continue to play an active role in proposing solutions, and putting our customers’ interests at the heart of the response.”
OVO also stated that it remains dedicated to its pledge to never disconnect customers who fall behind on their payments.
