Fuel Poverty Evidence 2023

Over the past year, experts associated with the Fuel Poverty Evidence project (FPE) and Fuel Poverty Research Network (FPRN) have been researching and collecting evidence on all aspects of the fuel poverty and energy crisis in the UK (and beyond). These initiatives have involved deep dives into various groups, issues, and policies, employing innovative, non-traditional methodological approaches. 

We are excited to share the substantial evidence and insights we have gathered throughout this period. The depth and richness of our findings, which vividly represent the real-life experiences of those affected by fuel poverty, are something we take immense pride in. We believe it is crucial for you, the recipient, to be fully informed and have access to this comprehensive body of knowledge as we enter another hard winter. 

Below you will find links to each of our key pieces of work with a brief summary highlighting the key takeaway. These are organised into four groups: 1) Effects of Fuel Poverty; 2) Groups at Risk; 3) Policy Analysis; and 4) Solutions.

If you would like to speak to any of the experts and authors, there is a link directly to the contact details of the lead author with each piece. You can also look in our Directory of Experts.

We also have an accessible (plain text) version of the report.
