Nine out of 10 bill payers in Scotland made changes to reduce energy use between October 2022 and February 2023.
However, despite the attempts to cut back, more than two thirds (69%) of Scottish households said that their bills were higher than expected over that period.
KPMG surveyed 250 bill-paying adults living in Scotland during March about how energy prices impacted their behaviour this winter, finding that while almost all made some attempts to reduce the energy they used, 56% said they also made upgrades to their homes, while the same amount purchased energy efficient gadgets to keep energy costs down.
