Fuel Poverty: What you need to know
This month we're telling you everything you should know about fuel poverty and how you can prevent it.
Fuel Poverty Awareness Day 2019

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.
