Research shows fuel poverty in Highlands is “unacceptably high”
New research from Changeworks warns that not enough progress has been made to tackle fuel poverty in the Highlands and across rural Scotland.

Changeworks @changeworks.bsky.social · 15/06/2026
The research, which revisits an earlier report we published in 2024, finds that 29% of households in Scotland were in fuel poverty in 2024, with 14% in extreme fuel poverty, with rural communities continuing to face the highest costs and greatest challenges.

In Scotland, homes account for 13% of carbon emissions, and around one third of Scots are in fuel poverty. Key programmes must be scaled up in a way that means their impact increases over time to ensure Scotland meets its climate change plan and reduces fuel poverty.

We welcome the Scottish Government’s commitment to support heat decarbonisation and a just energy transition following yesterday’s Budget. However, we are concerned about cuts to key programmes that will help deliver these goals and benefit households across Scotland.
