## Notice

In May 2019, The Scottish Government committed to establishing an independent Energy Consumers Commission (ECC) to enhance the voice of consumers who reside in Scotland within the energy market.The commission was formed in July 2020 consisting of representatives with a wealth of experience in national consumer advocacy and advice bodies, academia and local groups serving energy consumers in their communities.This research will focus on improving outcomes for vulnerable consumers, a priority area for the Commission that was determined through an extended period of consultation.The Energy Consumers Commission, although an independent body, will utilise Scottish Government procurement frameworks for the purposes of this project.
