The most recent fuel poverty statistics from the Scottish House Condition Survey and Scottish Government (2023) displayed that overall fuel poverty in Scotland is 34%, up from 31% in 2022. As energy prices continue to rise, more people will be affected by fuel poverty, but the introduction of a targeted social energy tariff will help to decrease the burden on low-income families. To mark its 25th anniversary, it has declared a “fuel poverty emergency” and has urged the adoption of a targeted social energy tariff. Following this, the Energy Social Tariff Bill was introduced as a private member’s bill by Labour MP Polly Billington in July. Celebrating its 25th year, ALIenergy hosted a celebratory event with politicians, environmentalists and fuel poverty activists in attendance.
