End Fuel Poverty Coalition

The End Fuel Poverty Coalition campaigns to influence government and other bodies to take action to end fuel poverty and thereby improve people’s health and quality of life as well as seeking to reduce the cost of living, create jobs and negate carbon emissions in the process.

It is a broad group of over 60 anti-poverty, energy, environmental and health campaigners, local authorities, trade unions and consumer organisations and is also supported by academics and industry experts.

We need short and long-term measures to help the millions of households in fuel poverty:

• Address operational issues with the package of support announced by the Chancellor in May 2022
• Urgent, co-ordinated, action to improve the energy efficiency of our homes, including a skills strategy.
• Further, short-term, financial support for people in fuel poverty this winter to mitigate any further increase in the price cap above £2800 and support those suffering already.
• Review and subsequent reform of the energy supply market to consider the introduction of policies such as a social tariff, energy for all allowance and a total price cap ceiling.
• A secure, renewable-led, domestic energy supply and a formal review of the domestic energy market.
