The number of calls to a leading energy advice service has more than quadrupled over the last year as Scots struggle with the cost of living crisis.
Advice Direct Scotland, which runs the advice hub energyadvice.scot, received around 370 calls per day throughout December – up from an average of 80 during the same month last year.
The non-profit organisation was among those who took part in two emergency summits on the rising cost of energy convened by Nicola Sturgeon earlier this year.
