🔍 ONE FIRM HAS MADE OVER £300 PROFIT PER HOUSEHOLD SINCE THE ENERGY CRISIS BEGAN
Centrica has raked in £9 BILLION in operating profits since 2020—equivalent to £310 per UK household—while millions struggle in cold, damp homes.
📈 In 2024 alone:
⚡ £1.5bn in operating profits
⚡ £2.3bn in pre-tax earnings
⚡ Another massive share buyback programme—instead of helping struggling households
📢 Simon Francis, End Fuel Poverty Coalition:
“Centrica continues to post massive profits while people struggle to stay warm. A more socially responsible use of this money would be helping homes become more energy efficient or reducing standing charges.”
🚨 The reality:
🏠 People can’t afford to heat their homes
📊 Gas and oil giants have made £483 BILLION since 2020
