Rising energy prices at centre of cost-of-living crisis

- With less than two weeks until the cap rises on how much energy companies can charge customers, charities are warning that the number of people who can’t afford to heat their homes will go through the roof.
Experts are expecting a 50 per cent rise on the current £1277 annual limit because of record high gas prices.
Now, charities and businesses are calling on the government to provide more funding to help those most affected.
Scotland Tonight spoke to some of those at the sharp end of what’s being called a cost-of-living crisis.
More here:
This is happening all over the globe. Here in the US prices have drastically gone up but wages are stagnant. Politicians don't seem to care. It almost seems hopeless at this point. I'm grateful I can cut back in other areas to afford it but there are just so many who have nothing left to cut.
Amen to that! 💯
politicians dont care because it doesn't effect them .
you would be surprised how i am enabled to stick to a strict budget.
I am from Massachusetts and things have gone way up. One thing I have learned is living beneath your means even when the money is coming in. Live with less, eat with less, go without and recycle everything. It is hard and a challenge but that is really the only way. Now that winter is coming I can afford heat (but I still live with less and wear sweaters that I buy from the thrift store.) Too many folks in the states are way over weight and not self sufficient which has to change or they will die. It is so horrible but no one ever promised that life was easy. 😔
@@sharonneth4231 well said. Living beneath means even when the money is coming in. Thank you
I imagine this comes as a shock for people who did not grow up poor. There were years where we only heated rooms with plumbing in danger of freezing and the rooms were only kept warm enough to keep the pipes from icing up. We wore our winter coats, hats, and gloves 24/7 for months. Looked forwatd to going to school because it was the only warm place.
exactly 👍
Ice on the inside of our bedroom windows was not uncommon back in the 80s. I now live in the back of my van all year round as I know I can survive without heating. I save £10,800 every year living this way
It's true. I paid over $1000 per month last winter. It's out of my hands.
Where did you live ?
Same here , when you breath and you can see your breath . Not sure about the school bit 🤣
700 a month plus rent paid for? That’s more than many working people take in. Jeez
Absolutely
Stand together and tell them where to go! Community is key
We might have to, just to keep bloody warm
Amen to that! 💯
Communism is key
... Meanwhile back in reality....
Absolutely. We all have to do it together. A few people protesting doesn’t do anything. We need it nationwide. If we all refuse they can’t put us all away. Get your neighbours to complain to you. Local councillor. Get everyone to complain to your energy provider.
Defeatist attitudes like the guy above me are your biggest obstacle
Rolls reversed in my household. My parents keep putting thr heating on and I'm the one who shouts "GO GET A JUMPER!", and switches it off. Constant battle in my house. Our last bill was shocking 😐
Hot water bottle, cosy gown and a blanket works wonders
The elderley do tend to feel the cold more.
@@michaelaghmalone-hansen5656 yes, those older than 50 tend to feel it more
I go round to my mum's some times she sitting there with heating on high and in a t shirt and trousers I always leave with a headache due to how hot it's and she still moans about it costing more but she also gets the highest heat allowance every year plus more if the temperature drops below a certain level and she extremely honest with the pension credit dept some times too honest for her own good shops in Sainsbury's which I find to expensive for many items and still is able to save I work seven days a week don't run a car like she does. I cycle 200 miles a month to and from work in the early hours of the morning all weathers and I struggle I've even resorted to walking to and from town with my shopping since a steep rise in bus fares for the same number of stops at the beginning of the year and some said the fares are set to rise again in July it would be cheaper for a taxi each way for the distance I need to travel
Cancel the tv licence fee!
Absolutely!
How about scrapping vat on fuel tax for 12 months or a windfall tax Shell alone makes £900 a second profit or is this just a bbc agenda
@@affectionatepunch Hi, agree Shell has made loads of money, is this a world wide breakdown of the company results?
With reference to the VAT on fuel, I take your point about suspending it for a year, but Govt. spending is at an all time high, because of world wide issues. There is also a great demand on the Govt. from every dept/ministry, Police, Education, Prison service, etc. so they need the taxes.
Cancelling the tv license fee is an easy option, the bbc could charge £13.25/month, which would cover the fee.
It’s not for the public to subsidise, a media or any Govt. to be in charge of one, as the less they have to do the better!
I think that it's traditional in Great Britain to wear more layers in the winter, whether you can afford to heat the house or not. My older British friends are masters at penny pinching and frugality. They also have gardens and know how to stretch their food ingredients. They are appalled at what they're seeing now.
I switched my heating off 3 weeks ago, having received a horrendous energy bill. I have the same dilemma, heat or eat. I wear layers, a beanie, thermal socks in the flat. I won't be switching it back on unless the temperature goes consistently below -5C, and only because I don't want the pipes to freeze. There's a lot of people here in the same situation or worse.
If you can't afford both have you considered going to a food pantry
Oh I feel bad for you. Where I live is the most mild climate on the planet. We start crying horror at 13 ° C. It's not easy enduring cold weather. Is there any other supplemetary heating solution you can add maybe from next year. where you can get free fuel. Like wood cut from tree. I hope your next year is better. God bless us all.
@@happilysmpl So far, things have been okay. On days like today, when it's sunny, the living room, which faces south, is 18C! Outside, it's 6C. As I say, I wear layers, including a bathrobe now. In the evening, when sitting down, I put an old summer sleeping bag over me. If my hands get cold, I put on gloves for 5-10 minutes and that's usually enough to warm them up. Things might be different in consistently below freezing temperatures. But so far, so good :) And it's better than the stress of getting huge bills and harassed by letters and texts from rip-off energy companies.
@@debbieframpton3857 I haven't tried those. Cutting back on the heating should allow me to buy food. But there's no way I could afford more bills like I had, and I didn't even think I was using much energy!
@@DavidWilson-hd6iz ,
I suggest you try a food pantry they are very helpful the one I helped at in Central Illinois has so much food including good meat they tell everybody that comes to let others know they can't keep the stuff forever and the meat would get freezer burn after while
Glad I just installed themo-warmth system, (160m. hole in the gound), changed from oil heating.
Greetings from Finland!
I live in Finland and pay 800e rent on a huge apartment with two bedrooms, a garden and Sauna. I pay no energy rates whatsoever- it's all included in my rent. That's electricity, water and Internet as well as any additional services necessary like repairs by the housing agency. The UK has it all wrong.
wow thats fantastic Tom, i wish the uk were the same ... sadly not though 😢
... finland here i come 😀
I can’t just turn my heating on, I have to put a jumper on instead………. Jesus Christ, people have become so soft it’s unbelievable.
The whole UK needs to stick together and refuse to pay Then let's see what the government do.
i agree if we all cut our useage right down they would lower the price ... sadly cant see it happening
Send in the debt collectors that's what will happen the government won't do anything the government only help themselves we all no that by now who ever is in power they make all the promises to be elected then nothing changes I've been around long enough to know that
Great idea. How do I contact the rest of the UK? 😆
Thank God, I live in the tropics. I don’t know how people live in the cold, it’s so expensive.
Yeah you probably spent a lot on air conditioning
Okay, so I see this is a world wide issue. I am in America and we are right behind with these issues. I think it’s time all of us people of the nations stand up and protest about how all of our governments are treating us. They are literally slaving us all to barely get by. No one should have to worry about being warm on a cold day or to have to chose between food or heat. Better believe those that are implementing these hikes are not facing the same issues as the average working home. It’s time for all of us, regardless of where we are to stand together and make them change how they are doing us across the world.
Same in Australia older people and young families fear putting on the air conditioning because of huge bills. I dont know what's worse stiffling heat or freezing cold. Having been brought up in Scotland ive experienced both...
We all have to do it together. A few people protesting doesn’t do anything. We need it nationwide. If we all refuse they can’t put us all away. Get your neighbours to complain to you. Local councillor. Get everyone to complain to your energy provider
Revolution!
Protesting that is going on now is not being heard from the politicians. With social media we need to educate each other on how to live with less but still have the basics. Learn how to make soup, grow things and quit comparing ourselves to stupid marketing campaigns. Quit attacking opposing opinions of people and work together despite our differences. Critical thinking skills can be learned at any age.
Thanks boris Johnson , I just recently received my gas and electricity bill of 450 pounds for 2 months , I stop heating the house , during day if I’m at home I just put a coat on , cook once a day , welcome to the dark ages , thanks everyone with two brain cells that voted for this government you all deserve all this
Luv Boris, luv Tories. Doesnt affect me at all as i can afford to heat my house.
Yes Corbin, Abbott, Butler, Lammy, Rayner, Gardiner, Ashworth,Thornberry, etc, etc, would definitely have made your life much better, with their money forests!!! Hahahahahahahahahah
Seems like nothing has changed in the last 300 years! Britain produces only 59 percent of the food it consumes and rest are imported primary reason why food items are expensive for some people. The island is inhabitable for Humans , because it's too cold !
In 1450 jack cade my ancestor led the peasants revolt in london ,taxes were too high,and living conditions were bad ,nothings changed
Britain is inhabitable for humans because its too cold? Stop talking out your useless derriere darling!
This without a doubt should have been an opportunity for the renewable energy sector to be nationalized or at very least the prices capped before anyone got to buy any tenders or have approved projects even started privately
@oh dear! me cool story nutty McNutHead
It’s time the Govt takes a big step to revise his engery policies to reduce the energy cost among UK citizens right now! No more delay now!
usa has done alot for me of spending and saving money over the years im very thankful for this and a african man in london england told me you got to spend money to make money
The same government that sold off our own energy companies?
Here in the USA too. Since Covid my bills have troubled tripled. If they keep rising no one will be able to pay your workers. Just think about that. No workers ,no money, no business.
Why don't you switch to equal payments plan? My gas bill is 100 a month, every month.
Business just offshores the jobs 😂
Amazing isn't it the fuel companies made huge profits but still are raising prices. Greed nothing but greed
Just like the goverments
I suggest that anybody that's having a hard time with heating bills and food go to a food pantry
We only had one room heated. That was the living room. When someone got up at 9 PM to make tea everybody yelled "Close The Door!" It was freezing outside the living room. Each person had an electric blanket. My mother would go up and turn them on for ten minutes before we went to bed. She didn't want us going into a cold bed.
Why doesn't this woman work? If you have children, unless you marry a man with a lot of money, you will have to work
how dare you, she signed up for universal credit and they should provide..........
@@absly5 Well, sorry but I don't know much about "universal credit" in the UK. As a woman, I expect to work until the day I am so old they quit hiring me. 😂 Judging by the state of my wrinkles, might be sooner than later.
@@absly5 why should they ? She could do some work.
its a shock to many families but im 53 and grew up in a council house in the 80's and the only heating in the house was the gas fire in the living room, the house was cold! we got used to it and that was how it was! i grew up ok and survived, i understand older people and people who are poorly need to be warm but when i see youngish people bleating, i think , sort urself out, put a jumper on ! stop moaning ! weve become soft , check out wim hof on here , he swears by cold therapy to help the immune system! ... suck it up , less heating is better for the planet ! ... the uk isnt that cold ...weve become way way too dependent on central heating !
We only had a coal fire 70's
Im now £30 electricity and £30 gas A WEEK, 3 BED HOUSE. Its an absolute disgrace. I dont know how people on a pre payment will cope it must be so much more. Thankfully i have an ok paying job but find myself struggling to pay bills, have i just to work 6 days a week for rest of my life to pay greedy companies. Well if worst comes to worst i know a man that knows how to rectify my fuel prices for £200 and thats exactly what i will do
I'm on pre payment meters (not smart meters either). Currently electric per month is £60 and gas is £80 per month. A few people I know who have had their old meters changed to the so called Smart meters saw their bills shoot up and had more power cuts. I live in a 2 bed council flat with next to no insulation. Draughts been coming through the windows and floors for years. I don't have the heating on all the time I just put it on for 1 hour at a time when it's cold to the point of shivering or put on extra clothes and a thick dressing gown over the top. I work mainly evenings full time and get for meals at work which I take home so the extra I save on buying food goes on the heating and electric. Sometimes I don't turn on the lights at night and just use a torch instead. Using a flask to keep water hot for hot drinks so I don't have to boil the kettle as often helps too.
@@samanthahardy9903
@@samanthahardy9903
@@samanthahardy9903 and that is the problem, the UK older homes have no insulation. Canadian homes are well insulated and we need heat for many months of the year and our energy costs are not that much different. Insulation is key to a warm house.
What do they do if everyone in the country refuses to pay their bill?
I have no idea what but something needs to be done and quick.
I switched to OVO after a legendary speech their boss gave in the Parliament about greed of energy companies. They turned out to be highway robbers. My already-high bill that used to be around £40 per month for my small flat became £60 the very month I signed up with OVO. Even though I had NOTHING running on electricity in the flat that month apart from my light bulbs in my single-bedroom flat and a single hob portable cooker and a small kettle. I had just moved in under dire circumstances and that was all I had. No heating as it was summer and the boiler was not working. I was taking my showers at my gym nearby. But I had already signed the contract and all my complaints fell on deaf ears. Finally I demanded to know what their tariff was, they refused to tell me and said they are under no obligation to reveal their tariff prices. If you want to know where thieves work, pick any energy company they're all as bad as each other. OVO are the most expensive but lie about it.
Ovo are the worst. They were charging me £160 for one person living in a flat, I had no heating on cos it was too expensive. I had no lights on in my main room, just a little lamp in the corner. I literally showered, charged my phone/laptop and cooked. That was it.
I complained and they gave me a good will gesture of £50. I said I would never go with them again. Absolute scandale
The demand hasn’t changed their just putting the price up
It is the supply that has changed.
@@daviniarobbins9298 nope the price is just going up , no reason just money grabbing .
Hope these absent father's are making a contribution. As regarding the heàting - I've found wearing seasonal weather clothing helps ,. Jumpers in winter and not lacey tops. Also learning to cook and not buy junk food,,, but then again I grow up in the 70s when people had sense
Here in France too !
The gas fees jumped 100% more 1st of juanary 2022!!
I definitvly stop heating house: I wear 3/4 layers, wool stocks, warm "slippers" ( in France we called them "charentaises"), and drink warm water, tea, hot chocolate, soups, ragout,...( winter plates).
I take a shower each 4/5 days: the others days I use ancient méthod for my toilet : using a glove with soap and cold water. In thé bathroom i have electric heating : I put it on when I awake, go to drink some warm water, do some stuff. Then 15 mn later, i come back, do my toilet, and cut off the electric radiator.
When i take a shower i always finish with cold water on legs, arms, face. It makes you warm ( see wim Of videos).
In Summer, it is easier to take cold water even in the back ...
Many people are totally clueless on how to manage energy costs.Insulation, zoning and location of thermostats. All can be concentrated into one room in Winter resulting in a potential reduction in heating of 50% for little outlay.
5 million population i. e . approximately 20 million people ( 1/3 of total population) dependent on Universal credit . This is not only shameful, but unaffordable for any country . Most of UK’s money is concentrated in just top 1% people , and this much dependence on social security is eating up on middle classes and dragging them down as well , because middle classes are the only one paying taxes .Corrupt politicians and wealth concentration is to blame . We all love shopping through Amazon , hiring Uber taxies , not eating locally grown , but exotic only and the list goes on......
Exactly, tired of listening to whiners who don't work for a living. 1/3 of population on UC, unbelievable and they are bringing in more immigrants to do the work. Retraining is the key.
I think waking up paralyzed down half of my body at 17 with Multiple sclerosis gave me a strange outlook on life and like I said with COVID you don't give up living to live

@Mike National insurance is rising 1.25% to fund the NHS that could be scrapped if i remember rightly the Tory Brexit bus told us we were going to save 350 million a day and channel it into the NHS
Remember when boris said the EU was making the brits pay VAT on energy bills? Yeah, shocker, boris is a liar. And brexiteers are gullible fools.
This is happening all over the world. In the USA my heat & electric tripled in cost over 2 months!!
Mine has doubled
i learn how to cut down on my bill over the years and it had worked alot of things i see on youtube help me alot over the years
Those “ugly “ looking residential buildings don’t look energy efficient; perhaps the management should have the proper insulation installed in those ugly looking residential buildings before the cold winter months arrive!
My energy supplier has already put their prices up to April's prices. They did that last week. The bastards.
SAME HERE IN THE STATES
"Drive less" seems like mass control 🤨🤔
100% nailed it.
I’m glad I invested in a weighted blanket. One winter when I was in high school my mom couldn’t afford to keep the gas on so if I wanted to take a hot bath I had to heat water up in the microwave. To keep warm at night I would either sleep in the bed with my mom or I would bundle up under a lot of layers before bed
No one should suffer this way!
What about the queen to help they got millions
It's not living is it ? All the constant worry especially with children 😢 putting on your heater or buying food sad society that we live in !!!
Humans cannot wait! Most of us are already broke! Verge of homelessness!
You all have it a lot better in the UK. Half way across the world in New Zealand, the cost of living is a little shy of what Switzerland is, the median income is lower than that of the UK, and the median house price in London is the media across the country with London prices being considered an 'affordable house' in the major centres.
Towards pre-2020, the very 'fortunate' low income household were faced with the difficult decision of rent vs food on the table (never mind heating) with a quarter of them in emergency housing which is normally short term in motels paid for using a loan from the GOV.
In 2022, the ^ situation is what I'd say a majority of working 'middle class' families with 2 sources of income are facing.
my universal credit was 400 a month only.shes better off than me
Maybe it's time for people to stop living on their own in a house on one income. A 2 or 3 bed house with a lounge, dining room and kitchen, could house 2/3+ adults, so 3 incomes and less isolation for the elderley.
Some people cannot co-live with others.

If it’s a supply and demand issue, why is the government pushing electric cars and in Scotland giving free electricity for these expensive cars?
Uk had an easy answer, shale gas...but some tree huggers made a huge fuss about it like we were stopping using gas tomorrow. Don't take oil and gas for granted, they take a lot of time to find and develop...
UK have coal in abundance. But its people chose to freeze in order to save the planet, supposedly.
So much so about the wind turbine generators... what's happened has the cost of wind increased?
So much for the state owned energy company Sturgeon was trumpeting about. Energy was going to be sold at near to cost as possible. All those windfarms and Scots will never have cheaper energy prices. Even Lorna Slater is slating the lack of progress on this matter. Just another failed promise from the SNP.
Sturgeon herself admitted her government’had not done well enough’ in generating energy and harnessing the economic benefits.
Got to be cheaper to keep warm than keep cool! Brought up in the UK i am well aware of putting on extra layers to stave off the cold. I now live in Phoenix, Arizona where the summertime temps. can reach well over 100deg F month after month requiring constant air-conditioning usage which means outrageous electric bills May through September.

Probably plural
They need to recoup that furlough money somehow.
Do the bankers have this problem?
Between April and October most of us don't need the heating on what's wrong with putting on extra layers or a blanket over yourself when sitting in an arm chair or sofa my heating goes of no matter what every year on the 31st march and doesn't go back on till 31st October i work seven days a week live alone and have made many cuts as long as my private rent and utilities are paid if I go hungry so what
Now we see clearly that Covid 19 is not as much scared as staving
£100 for both electric and gas?! I'm paying £135 for electric and £60 a week on gas!
ABOUT TIME WE STOP HAVING TO PAY STANDING CHARGES AND VAT. MAYBE IT SHOULD BE A MEANS TEST
Standing charge I can see, but VAT - no.
For most people reducing the VAT, barely touches the sides?! Don't expect a tory sect to help because their objective is to line the pockets of the corporations!
Sorry, but saying "The price cap is the maximum a supplier can charge" is incorrect. It's the maximum amount tfor a household with typical usage, so if you use more you'll pay more. They should really publish the price cap unit rate so you can calculate it yourself.
How does someone get £760 per month free…..work last the rest of us
Oh l hear you and it ABSOLUTELY makes my blood boil. When you get a little bit more or the same with all the concessions to sit on your ass watch the TV all day spits in the face of people who actually get up rain hail or shine to go to work and pay for these SCROUNGERS!!!
Electric blankets are a really good solution
If there was actually decreased supply available, there would just be limits on the amount you could have/use. That hasn't happened. Interesting.
It's the storage reserves that hold the problem.

adding to my last comment ... young people including my own son , leave lights on , boil a full kettle of water for a cup of coffee and generally dont care about energy costs and the affect on the planet ... im
aware of these costs but since the 1st of april im realising ive become a bit slack , putting lights on when not needed, heating on when im sat in a t-shirt , again we've become mollycoddled... generations of ancestors lived without central heating and our homes are way better ... if people can survive living on
