See if you Qualify for Free Electric Blanket

Octopus Energy is announcing today the relaunch of its electric blankets scheme  this winter, with an extra 20,000 free electric blankets on offer for the company’s most vulnerable customers. 

Launched in January 2022, Octopus has already distributed over 60,000 free electric blankets to those who need it most. 

Octopus customers with an electric blanket saw their gas bills fall by 20% on average in previous winters, while only increasing their electricity usage by 0.2% – adding up to an average saving of £150 across the three months. 

The scheme is open to all Octopus Energy customers through the company’s £30m Octo Assist Fund, and prioritises customers in particular circumstances, such as those that are medically vulnerable, elderly or living alone. Anyone who is concerned about paying their winter bills should get in touch – Octopus will ask a simple series of questions to identify the best support for you.

Mario Lupori, Director at Octopus Energy Group, commented: “We know many people are worried about the costs of heating their homes over winter. An electric blanket means you heat the human, not the home – staying warm for as little as 3p an hour. We’ve got 20,000 more blankets this year to give out to our most vulnerable customers and we’re delighted that they will help them stay warm.”

Octopus Electric Blankets are supplied by Dreamland, providers of innovative warming technology for over 50 years.
