People’s Energy Supporting its Members Through COVID-19
The motion
That the Parliament welcomes the initiative of People’s Energy for establishing a COVID-19 Community Fund in order to support its customers facing financial distress as a result of the current pandemic; notes that the Community Interest Company based in Midlothian has created the fund to help customers, such as Kenny Tomlinson, a musician from Edinburgh who it understands is unable to pay for energy bills due to a loss of livelihood brought about by COVID-19; understands that Kenny’s work has been cancelled until at least October, and that People’s Energy has added credit to his account as a means of providing short-term support; acknowledges that the fund is being supported by customers and employees at People’s Energy, and thanks People’s Energy for ensuring that the necessary support for energy consumers is in place during these difficult times.
