British Gas owner Centrica has reported a rise in half-year profits, after the unusually cold winter boosted gas consumption.
Centrica's adjusted operating profit rose 9% to £1.58bn for the period ended 30 June 2013, up from £1.45bn for the same period in 2012.
British Gas' residential arm saw profits rise 3% to £356m, up from £345m a year earlier.
British Gas raised its energy prices by 6% in November 2012.
