The stunt from Bristol Energy was to mark the launch of a new tariff from the council-owned energy supplier set up specifically for Bristol residents.
Anyone with a Bristol postcode is eligible for Bristol Energy’s new ‘My Bristol Tariff’, which is a fixed deal for two years with no exit fee.
Bristol mayor Marvin Rees said: “It’s simple, people are paying too much for their energy bills. In this city, we’ve got a chance to do something about it.
“The council set up Bristol Energy to help people pay less for their gas and electricity, because heating your home and eating a hot meal should not be a luxury.
“It’s also here to help Bristol residents to support their city. We all pay our energy bills, but if that money can be reinvested back into local communities to help pay for essential services and support, then the whole of Bristol can benefit.”
