Amidst rising energy costs and concerns over fuel poverty, households across the Southwest are facing challenges in managing their energy bills. Despite a potential lowering of the energy price cap, fixed standing charges remain high, exacerbating the burden on consumers. The average fuel poverty gap has also increased to £417, highlighting the urgent need for support and guidance.
Responding to this pressing need, a new energy advice line has been launched in partnership with Wales and West Utilities and community interest company YES Energy Solutions. The Greener Homes Advice Line aims to provide residents with invaluable support and information to navigate the complexities of energy bills and promote energy efficiency.
Accessible to all, the advice line offers assistance on a range of topics, including energy-saving tips, understanding energy bills, and implementing measures to enhance home energy efficiency. Whether you’re looking to save money or reduce your carbon footprint, the dedicated team of experts is on hand to offer tailored advice and solutions.
The latest data from the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero underscores the importance of such initiatives, with the fuel poverty gap reaching its highest level yet. YES Energy Solutions is urging households to take proactive steps to address their energy consumption and prepare for the colder months ahead.
