AS THE winter draws in, more people will face the grim choice of heat or eat, but it doesn’t need to be this way. In Wales we pay on average 5 to10 per cent more for our energy than elsewhere and some 30 per cent of households are living with fuel poverty.
It’s not just customers who are on mains gas who get hit with excessively high domestic energy bills. The situation is even worse for those customers living in rural areas who are off the mains gas supply.
Some 400,000 customers are not on mains gas and they often face higher energy prices, having very little consumer protection. Plaid Cymru’s offgridcymru.org website aims to give people the opportunity to get a better deal for their energy.
