Nicola Sturgeon will convene a summit with energy suppliers in the wake of rising bills that are expected to go up further.
The First Minister will chair the meeting before energy regulator Ofgem announces a possible rise in the energy cap on 26 August, bringing together suppliers and consumer groups.
The Scottish Government said the summit will focus on ensuring the best advice is available to customers and businesses, and the First Minister said it could also include a “more compassionate approach to debt management”.
