Ending the Energy Rip-Off


Listen Later

Fiona and Marlene are joined by Gordon MacIntyre-Kemp for an update on  Believe in Scotland's campaign to end the energy rip-off.

Thousands of Scottish households and businesses are demanding answers. Despite being an energy-rich nation with abundant renewable resources, Scotland pays the highest energy prices in the UK—a disparity that defies logic and hits hardworking families where it hurts most.
The recent petition has sparked action with thousands of Scots demanding an end to the energy rip off flooding the inboxes of elected representatives with calls for change.
With the Holyrood elections on the horizon we also take a look at the manifesto energy pledges from the major parties.  We even ranked this from worst to best in our opinion.  You might not agree with us - you can let us know in the comments how you would rate them!
