@EAS_Scotland No engineers based in, or willing to travel to remote, rural & island communities will make this difficult. Ofgem need to ensure suppliers donโt leave customers literally in the cold when they were fully aware of this issue years ago and have done nothing.

The #EnergyPriceGuarantee means that unit costs for electricity will rise by approx 25% on 1 Oct. Avoid being overcharged by taking an accurate meter reading. If you normally submit manual readings, take one on 30 Sept and submit it to your supplier. #BigMeterRead
