We have created this expert directory to facilitate the accessibility of the work being done on fuel poverty. We hope it will be used by journalists and the media to quickly and easily find subject matter experts on all aspects of fuel poverty. This will enable the research community to add our evidence to the discussion and use it to support policy changes.
The directory is part of the Fuel Poverty Evidence project. We aim to capture the extent and diversity of this wide-ranging field of research. If you would like to be included, please complete this simple form.

Dr Catherine Butler
Associate Professor
University of Exeter

My research uses in-depth interviews to understand people’s experiences of deep fuel and transport poverty in the UK with focus on people living in cities, spanning the South and North of the UK. I also work on issues of low carbon energy transition and access in South Africa. I focus on how energy use affects wellbeing in multiple connected ways, including abilities to access/use digital services and transport as well as heat/cooling and light.

Dr Danielle Butler
Senior Research and Policy Officer
National Energy Action
Manchester


I am a Senior Research and Policy Officer at leading fuel poverty charity National Energy Action and Trustee and Founder of the Fuel Poverty Research Network. My work has largely focused on the lived experience of fuel poverty among ‘at risk’ groups, such as renters, older and younger householders, and those in rural and remote settings. I also research the design and development of energy-related advice and programmes support and how this functions as an essential element of wider efforts to tackle fuel poverty. I have worked extensively with a wide range of research funders, partners and other key stakeholders including governments, the health sector, statutory, and third sector organisations, both in the UK and beyond.

I work with Indigenous and marginalised groups to try to understand lived experiences of extreme heat, and I am working towards a people-centred definition of cooling poverty. In these times of increasing and prolonged heatwaves, it is crucial we diversify our knowledge, and share local-based strategies to cope with extreme heat. Journalism can help democratise this information.
