THE number of calls to an energy advice hotline in Scotland has more than quadrupled as more and more bill payers struggle with rising prices.
In December around 370 calls a day were made to the Energy Advice service, well up from last year’s average of around 80 a day during the same month.
The rise in calls comes after energy prices spiked to a record high, with the average household facing a £2500 annual bill.
