Scotland will be the hardest hit by RTS meter switch off, without a doubt. bbc.com/news/articles/…

'"It seems that Scotland is just an [energy] resource to be exploited yet her people are neglected' heraldscotland.com/news/25141184.…

An article today in The Herald highlighting the worrying lack of progress in upgrading outdated meters & systems that control heating/hot water for 000s of people. Only two months to go until a critical service closure and unacceptable uncertainty.

Looking forward to hearing ideas and asks from colleagues and fellow civil society organisations on this vital agenda. Thanks to The Poverty Alliance for bringing us together

There is a lot to think about in this article. It is important that social targeting to reduce costs gets things right. So much scope for improvement. Fairer more equitable access to affordable energy a must.

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

The RTS switch off is another example of commercial & governmental interests putting demands on already stretched third sector advice services. Brilliant people trying to help others navigate through this change. They need proper resourcing but rarely get it.

Important news for charities ⚠️ Microsoft recently announced that the Microsoft 365 Business Premium and Office 365 E1 grants will be discontinued from 1st July 2025. Find out everything you need to know now 👉 hubs.ly/Q03mJ6bR0

It is welcome that unit costs look set to fall albeit tempered by this happening when demand/consumption falls with warmer days/lighter nights. October/Jan are the most significant price points each year. Debt still rising, still no low cost social tariff/discount.

Just brilliant...Microsoft unable to continue to provide no-cost business premium licences to small charities despite its incredible profits. Pathetic...What options do we have but to increase yet more costs at a time when grant funders are expecting even more for less.

Any reductions are welcome yet energy remain unaffordable for far too many people. There is a real risk of normalising high energy costs, underplaying the impact of energy debt and the detrimental impact on health & wellbeing that living in a cold damp home brings.

Thousands of customers with double electricity standing charges overcharged. 10 suppliers identified and £7million back with customers.

Members’ Business today is led by Beatrice Wishart MSP on the upcoming switch-off of the Radio Teleswitch Service, which could leave rural and island homes without heating or hot water. 📑 Full Motion: ow.ly/5C6W50VV0hM 📺 Watch live from 6:30pm: ow.ly/xcf850VV0hN

UK Ministers consider easing winter fuel payment cuts. Let's hope so! Do the right thing. Reintroduce it then reform it to make it fairer. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

UK inflation rate jumps to 3.5% in April as higher household bills kick in. bbc.co.uk/news/live/c3d4…

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.

Team EnergyActionScotland is in Inverness! Join us tomorrow at the Spectrum Centre to hear about the Radio Teleswitch and what we can do to help vulnerable households. Kate will be there from 11am, come say hello! 👋

Worried about the radio teleswitch and how it might affect the households you support? Join EnergyActionScotland and The Wise Group tomorrow in Glasgow for support and advice on the next steps.

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.

Heading to Glasgow to support colleagues from Scope at its Disability Summit focussed on energy.
