Nearly 130,000 homes across Scotland face an even bigger hike in energy bills because the do not get their supply from the main grid, the SNP has warned.
Houses which are off the mains gas and use domestic heating oil, LPG or solid fuel to meet their energy needs are part of the “hidden impact” of the cost of living crisis.
SNP Energy spokesman Alan Brown MP said that figures obtained from the House of Commons library show that off-grid households face an even bigger hike to energy bills.
