The ScottishPower boss has urged the Government to take immediate action and help the poorest households before energy bills surge again in the run up to the winter months.
Keith Anderson said that energy bills are likely to go up by nearly another £1,000 for millions of households around the country next winter.
"Given what's going to happen in October, we think that urgent action is required to put in place a mechanism to support customers through this period," he said.
