Nicola Sturgeon has renewed calls for an energy price freeze as she warned of a “looming disaster” if the price cap rise comes into effect in October. The Scottish First Minister is to convene a crisis summit with the leading energy companies ahead of Ofgem’s latest energy price cap announcement which is due on on Friday.
The meeting will pull together major energy suppliers, including Scottish Power, OVO Energy, Centrica, Octopus and E.ON as well as industry bodies and anti-poverty groups such as the Poverty Alliance and Energy Action Scotland.
