Letters / Where is Shetland’s reduced electricity tariff?
A direct quote from Shetland News: “And she expressed surprise at a recent Shetland News report which quoted a spokesperson of energy regulator Ofgem who said he had never heard of the ‘Shetland tariff’ – adding that in any case the government agency had no powers to look into such proposals.
“It is quite clear that in every engagement that we have, and where it is appropriate and the right audience, the council is raising the issue of fuel poverty,” she said.”
My question to Ms Sandison is simple: A Shetland tariff or fuel poverty? Which one is being discussed?
Octopus Energy offer residents in close proximity to wind farms a reduced electricity tariff. Where’s Shetland’s?
