Very proud of the work of @NEA_UKCharity helping people in Fishwick. Appalling level of botched insulation. A small charity stepped up where others failed. https://t.co/fQDacB2KgD

Botched insulation damaged many homes and left a legacy of health problems for residents.

Great to hear about the energy services available for constituents as winter approaches. These initiatives help households use energy more efficiently, cutting CO2 emissions while also saving money 💰. Delivered by Smart Energy GB in partnership with the @EnergySvgTrust,

No let up in the pain caused by persistently high and unaffordable energy bills. Standing charges shoot up despite UK Gov saying it would sort this. Costs remain over 60% higher than 2021. Energy debt at all time highs. https://t.co/lBKtsd6iKU

The £35 a year increase for a typical household is twice what analysts had predicted.

This is just a shambles, old meter switch-off is pushed back yet again. No real plan. It's a disgrace, people deserve better. https://t.co/qcRUARrf95

Okay, smart meter install saga continues. 2 new meters installed, 2hrs. Data from electricity meter on in-home display. Gas data not displaying. British Gas help says it could take a week or possibly a month for the gas data & closing meter readings to appear on my account. ?!

"We need to know what areas are being switched off and when." Climate Minister Dr @AlasdairAllan heard from advisers at @AdviceDotScot who've been taking calls from people concerned about their Radio Teleswitch Service meters being switched off before they have a replacement.

The benefits extend across society/economy. Healthier people, reducing NHS burdens, healthier workforce, more productive, more jobs, geographically spread, skilled, lower carbon impacts, better for people/planet. Win, win, win.

Ministers too quick to don hard hats & gaze at massive infrastructure projects whilst dismissing the most important & impactful netzero measures. Improve homes, reduce costs, improve lives, do it quicker, do it better, do it now.
New polling reveals a clear warning to ministers: backtrack on the Warm Homes Plan, and you risk losing the trust of your voters. 🏚️ 48% of Labour voters say home insulation promises influenced their vote 📉 46% say cutting funding would further erode trust 🚨 56% of voters

The circumstances that allowed the PPM scandal sit across Government, regulator, suppliers & judiciary. A failure to protect which undoubtedly caused harm. Harm for some that compensation cannot adequately address. 2yrs is not speedy resolution. Scale of fines to be levied?
A positive outcome for so many people badly affected by shocking practices. Unbelievable that after more than 2yrs we are unclear about outcomes for British Gas customers whose practices were exposed in the national media. Same for OVO/Utilita customers.

Energy price cap falls from 1 July by 7% for gas/electric households. Reversing the April hike but leaving costs at winter highs. Debt unsustainably high, no social tariff/discount to help those that need it. A system needing reset for people above profit.

Heading into town in a wee while to give blood. 73 time of asking. I've missed a fair few opportunities in my time but I'd urge anyone who can give to do it. It can save a life or make one a lot better. @givebloodscot

Let's hope GB Energy actually delivers some meaningful investments that result in a lowering of energy costs for those that need it the most. Something more than hard hat wearing photo opportunities.
Legislation to establish GB Energy passes through Parliament. https://t.co/NE8PfD5AVB

If you are getting an RTS meter upgrade what tariff are you being steered towards by your supplier?

Having had my 2mnth wait for a @BritishGasHelp #SmartMeter installation cancelled I took the very next available one, a mere 5wk additional wait. But let's see if that actually happens. 14wks since first request. Populous, accessible, central Scotland.

Over 100,000 Scots face energy cuts in BBC radio signal switch-off 'crisis'. A comparison of data shows that Scotland is bottom of the league table over the take up of smart meters behind London which has the second lowest levels at 45%.
