Warmer reception
BBC political correspondent Jo Coburn said the deal has taken weeks, if not months, to put together, but may not satisfy union leaders who want government money to go directly to cutting bills.
She added that Prime Minister Gordon Brown hoped the deal would be enough to generate a warmer reception from delegates at the Labour Party's annual conference in two weeks' time.
On Tuesday, the TUC's annual conference in Brighton backed a motion criticising energy companies and urging the government to impose a windfall tax.
It criticised the 'big six' energy firms for making 1.6bn last year and raising prices by 42% this year.
A report published on Monday suggested almost a quarter of the population will be pushed into fuel poverty by the end of next year.
The National Housing Federation said by the end of 2009, 5.7 million UK households will be spending at least 10% of their income on energy bills.
Average household electricity bills are expected to increase to more than 500 per year by 2010, and gas bills to around 900.
