Shell props up UK energy supply arm with £1.2bn as prices soar

Shell has been forced to support its UK supply arm, which has more than a million customers, with £1.2 billion worth of financing amid the “unprecedented” rise in energy prices.

The FTSE 100 energy giant has extended capital and loans to its subsidiary Shell Energy to help bolster its finances after losses widened last year.

Shell has contributed £237 million so far this year and will provide a further £288 million injection next year. It also continues to provide the retail arm with a working capital loan worth £680 million.
