Fuel Poverty Awareness Day 2019
2.5 million households in the UK meet the criteria for being in fuel poverty. That means that more than ten percent of homes in the UK are calculated as having above-median energy costs which, if the occupants were to pay them, would leave the household income below the official poverty line. This either means people are cold, in debt to their energy supplier, or have very little money left for other bills, food and necessities. What’s worse, reports and data suggest that our efforts to address this are stalling, and more people are entering fuel poverty than leaving it.
