Age UK Energy offer new ‘online saver’ tariff

Age UK, in conjunction with E.ON, is offering a promotion on its new online energy tariff - Online Saver - that combines the cost-saving element of buying online with the unique ‘offline' benefits of its existing Age UK Energy product.

To celebrate the launch of its new product, Age UK is offering an additional 10 per cent discount as a promotion to all new online Energy customers, up until Friday 6 August which will be valid for one year*.Customers who sign up can also receive a free ‘E.ON Energy Fit Starter Pack,' including a free energy monitor (worth £45) and exclusive software to help people understand their electricity use.

The Age UK Energy tariff is the first of its kind to have been specifically tailored for later life. It is the only energy tariff to provide customers with an additional Cold Weather Payment for each day the temperature falls below freezing between December and February. This payment, funded by E.ON, has amounted to £12.5 million being paid back to customers since the product was launched 10 years ago. The Age UK Energy tariff has no standing charges, tailored tariffs for all users, and excellent customer service information and advice.  All of these benefits are now available online too. ,

Gordon Morris, Managing Director of Age UK Enterprises (the trading arm of the charity) said: "Our customers are at the forefront of all we do and we are committed to offering them the widest possible choice of buying channels when it comes to choosing energy. In addition to the online product, customers can purchase energy face-to-face through our nationwide network of trading offices, or over the phone."

Jim Macdonald, Commercial Director of E.ON Retail said: "We're always looking to develop products that our customers want so we're delighted to offer the ‘Online Saver' option for older people, in addition to the financial support we provide them through our funding of Cold Weather Payments. The ‘Online Saver' offer combines the great benefits of the standard Age UK Energy product by helping customers to manage their gas and electricity accounts easily, with online functionality that will appeal to new and existing customers who are increasingly moving online."
