NEW HEBRIDEAN energy tariffs could save some island households more than £130 a year.
Not-for-profit community interest company Hebrides Energy, being led by key local agencies, including Tighean Innse Gall, Hebridean Housing Partnership, Comhairle nan Eilean Siar, The Stornoway Trust and Community Energy Scotland, has teamed up with existing Scottish ‘fairer energy’ supplier Our Power to tell households about it.
The new Hebridean Take Control tariff is the first to offer an alternative for customers on restricted meter tariffs, including those whose homes are reliant on night storage heating. It is a variable rate tariff, currently at 16.28p for the standard rate and 10.47p for heating rate, with a standing charge of 32.04p per day.
