Substantial reduction in energy bills during the pandemic

Because many people are having to work from home and children are having to be home schooled at the moment, so everyone is using much more gas and electricity, especially whilst it is extremely cold. Everyone is struggling as most households now have at least one member of the household either furloughed or unemployed as they have been let go during this time. But we are all now struggling to pay our energy bills even more or just freezing because we are scared to use it.
