Prime minister Gordon Brown has announced a plan to help reduce energy bills while also creating jobs.
Responding to rising energy prices, which have been pushed up by wholesale markets, and growing unemployment Mr Brown announced the provision of insulation and draught-proofing training for thousands of people.
Speaking in Brussels, where he was outlining the bank rescue to other EU leaders, the Guardian reports that he said: "We are expanding in a very radical way our insulation and draught-proofing central-heating provision for the elderly and other people in our country."
E.ON has played a part in the program of extending insulation to the population.
Elderly people also benefit from E.ON's StayWarm tariff which guarantees a 12-month fixed tariff.
As well as helping people make their homes more efficient and reduce their bills, the prime minister's plan will provide people with jobs.
He added that the plan was just "one example of how we can combine to meet the challenges of climate change and cut people's gas and electricity bills and create the opportunities for work and training for that work".
