A protest group calling for a cut to energy prices and an end to late payment fees gathered outside the offices of Scottish Power in Glasgow today. Power to the People (PttP) assembled in front of the energy firm's Charing Cross headquarters despite near-freezing temperatures to call for energy firms to do more to support people during the cost-of-living crisis.
The group, linked to union-backed protest movement Enough Is Enough, also wants suppliers to end the forced installation of expensive pre-payment meters when people build up too much debt. Politicians, academics and campaigners are among those who have gathered outside the HQ on St Vincent Street.
The group marched through the city centre as part of their demonstration, which targets energy firms as well as regulator Ofgem, which it has accused of allowing the "destruction of lives" through lacklustre oversight of the industry.
