Fuel Poverty levels have risen significantly in recent months, with a January 2022 report signalling the key challenges of high energy prices on households. By April 2022, single-adult households on low incomes are projected to spend 54% of their income on gas and electricity.

The July 2021 Fuel Poverty Report outlined recent trends, policies, and stakeholder views, noting the key factors affecting fuel poverty of household income, fuel costs, and energy consumption.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Government introduced an emergency package with energy suppliers to improve protection and reduce the number of people who go without energy. According to Public Health England, Fuel Poverty also puts households at greater risk of the worst effects of COVID-19, other respiratory infections, and ill-health, particularly for older people and children.

By 2019, 3.2 million (13.4%) of households in England were defined as fuel poor, a gradual decline from 22% in 2010. The mean average fuel poverty gap was £216 per household in 2019.

The Government set a 2025 Fuel Poverty Target for improving energy performance, aiming to protect vulnerable households and not leave behind any fuel poor homes. This event will look at how these goals can be achieved and examine the strategies for overcoming the crisis.
