MUCH has been made in the press over the last few months about the level of fuel poverty in Shetland. All fuel poverty is bad news but if, by the current definition, youâre living in
extreme fuel poverty then you are deemed to be at least twice as badly off as someone who is officially categorised as âfuel poorâ.

The latest government stats (Scottish House Condition Survey) show that 31 per cent of all households in Shetland are in fuel poverty with 22 per cent living in extreme fuel poverty as compared with 11 per cent in urban areas. A two hundred percent difference! Why?
