Steven, an Energy Adviser and member of Fuel Poverty Action Glasgow, said:

“As an energy adviser, my job is to help people understand and manage energy use in their homes. In reality, I spend most of my time supporting people in immediate crisis.

I work with households regularly disconnecting from prepayment meters because their budgets simply won’t stretch. Many have been pressured into unaffordable debt repayment plans they can’t maintain.

When they reach out to their energy company, instead of finding compassionate support, they’re often left feeling humiliated, and intimidated by the threat of forced prepayment meter installations.

As providers of a necessary utility, energy companies have a duty of care to support customers. Especially those who are struggling. Yet too often, they fall short, leaving people to turn to already overstretched support services.

Underpinning these issues, is the cost of energy itself. The average annual bill is now over £1,700—up 70% since 2020. The cryptic market mechanisms that set these prices guarantee profits for companies but offer no guarantees for people who need energy to live. As a result, one in five people are left in cold homes—a situation that is undignified, unsafe, and entirely avoidable.

The government must intervene now to ensure every household has the energy they need to stay safe and well.“

1 in 4 families in Glasgow are in fuel poverty, meaning they struggle to heat their homes, wash their clothes, and feed their kids.

Fuel Poverty Action is a group of ordinary people who are fed up with being robbed by greedy energy companies through sky high bills and landlords who rent out damp, uninsulated homes. We challenge rip off energy companies and unfair policies that leave us in freezing homes. Our local Glasgow and the West formed in 2023.

We are looking for people to join us demanding an end to this and to ensure our essential needs are met.

Come along to hear about our plans and share your own experience. With talks, a community assembly and food provided 🗣️🍲
