Aberdeenshire Council's energy bill has increased by a whopping £14million in the last two years, according to the local authority.
The cost of powering the vast estate has soared due to rising fuel costs, as punters in the region also feel the squeeze amid the cost of living crisis.
The council explained in a social media post that the cost of heating and lighting its schools, community centres, depots and offices had soared since 2021, according to Aberdeen Live.
