New research by energy experts, Boiler Central, has discovered that electricity costs in the north of Scotland are the second highest in the whole of the UK, with the average annual bill of £795, some £66 a month.
Those households saw an increase of 7.4% in electricity prices in 2021 and paid £30 more on average than anywhere else in the UK.
As millions of households start receiving letters and emails from their energy supplier, advising them how the upcoming 54% price cap hike will affect their monthly bills, Boiler Central, analysed new UK Government data from the Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, to discover which areas have the most expensive electricity costs.
