Ofgem announced the price cap will rise by 80 per cent on October 1, causing energy bills to soar.
Financial experts have warned that the UK Government's Cost Of Living Payments and the £400 energy discount is not enough help for households, with three-quarters of Scottish households expected to fall into fuel poverty.
Energy analysts also predict the price cap to jump again to a staggering increase to £5,386 in January. This comes as Russia-Ukraine conflict continues and inflation hit 10.1 per cent in July, the highest its been in 40 years.
