EON hands customers free electricity on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day

Another major energy supplier is set to give thousands FREE electricity on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day. The free power will be available to eligible E.ON Next customers on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and Boxing Day.

EDF is helping to ease Christmas costs by giving customers eight hours of free electricity on Christmas Day . The initiative is automatically available to all customers who sign-up to the December Sunday Saver Challenge.

Julian Lennertz, chief commercial officer at E.ON Next, told The Sun: "As the festive season approaches we know many across the nation may be worried about making ends meet. Our new Free Electricity Days deal will help our customers enjoy their Christmas, without worry over the impact any extra electricity usage across these three key festive days will have on their energy bills.

"This is the first time E.ON Next has offered three consecutive days of free electricity and I am thrilled we are able to do this for our customers at a special time of year." It comes as research finds most (92%) Brits will spend up to 10 hours using devices and appliances on Christmas Day, but 44% are worried about the impact on their bills.

Rich Hughes, Director of Retail at EDF, said: “We know the festive period can be a time of increased costs for us all, so we’re thrilled to give back to our customers and hopefully make electricity costs one less thing to worry about when it comes to Christmas Day.

“With Sunday Saver, EDF is helping families across the country enjoy their favourite festive past-times for free, and not just on the Sundays in December - on Christmas Day too. Customers are really making the most of our Sunday Saver challenge already, so whether it’s charging new gifts, or using more appliances in the kitchen than usual; we’re supercharging Christmas - because, at EDF, change is in our power.”
