Wednesday, 11 May 2022 (YJC)_ The director of the British Electricity Supply Company said that with the dramatic increase in gas prices following the conflict in Ukraine and Western sanctions against Russia, the energy bills of British households will increase.
The CEO of a Scottish electricity supplier to Britain said that with the skyrocketing gas prices following the conflict in Ukraine and Western sanctions against Russia, the energy bills of British households could rise to ۰۰ 2,900 ($ 3,576) by October.
The website of the RT news network wrote on Tuesday, quoting the CEO of the Scottish company "Power Scotland", Kate Anderson:
Given that around 10 million homes in the UK could not potentially afford to pay for their heating, the government should create a support scheme.
Anderson said British households have already seen a وند 700 increase in energy costs, including electricity and heating, between October and April, and that the increase is expected to accelerate.
Anderson, whose company supplies electricity to parts of Scotland, England and Wales, said: "We are going to see a huge increase in customer debt and we are getting to a really scary point that we do not want.
While Scotland Power owns and operates two wind farms, the majority of Britain's electricity is supplied by oil, gas and coal. Only one-fifth of the country's energy comes from low-carbon sources, including wind, solar and nuclear.
Anderson blamed the jump in household spending on rising global gas prices, which has been exacerbated by the conflict in Ukraine. Britain has voluntarily cut off Russian oil and gas imports, and European leaders are working to phase out Russian energy.
