How bad is the energy crisis in Bishopbriggs?
As a result of the UK energy crisis, energy prices have soared across the country. This results from an increase in the wholesale cost of energy, meaning that suppliers have needed to raise their tariff prices to survive.
The crisis has hit the UK fairly hard, causing 62 energy suppliers to go bust. Also, the remaining suppliers have stopped taking on new customers, making it really tricky to switch suppliers at the moment. However, there are still 27 energy suppliers left, and many of them will be available in Bishopbriggs! Once the crisis has settled, we recommend switching suppliers to make sure you’re on the best deal for your home.
