CAS is publishing its Market Pulse report which has tracked the attitudes of consumers in Scotland over three years on a range of issues, finding
- 12 per cent of consumers rating their bills as unaffordable
- A fall in consumers using the traditional Big Six suppliers with consumers moving to smaller suppliers, often because of lower prices
- A decrease in people using electricity to heat their homes and an increase in people using gas, laying out the challenges in the energy market as policy makers move to decarbonise heat and meet climate emissions targets
- Almost half of consumers could qualify for extra support through the Priority Service Register – but only a quarter of consumers are actually enrolled.
The report is available for download below. The data is also available on request.
