Policy Position Papers

Policy Position Papers



NEA has produced a number of policy position papers on a range of issues impacting on fuel poverty. They are deliberately brief and we will attempt to update these fairly regularly in response to any legislative/regulatory/other policy changes. These position papers have been written to help ensure a consistent approach across the organisation to external requests for information and to enable us to communicate our position on particular areas of policy to a wider audience. We would welcome feedback on these papers and others which are still to be added.

NEA's responses to consultation documents issued by Government, Ofgem and other bodies are also posted on our website.

Please email any comments to Jenny Saunders, Director of Communications.
