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.

I'm a researcher, campaigner, and journalist specialising in fuel poverty and energy policy, but with much broader interests and expertise including an extensive record of working with the media. In addition to the listed posts I'm a Member of the Board of Directors and Convenor of the Energy Working Group at the Scottish 'think and do' tank, Common Weal; an Associate of 100% Renewable UK; and Director of Professional Engagement at Pattiesmuir Ltd, a new company focussed on training and reskilling professionals for green jobs.

I have extensive experience (30 years) in providing expert advice on issues of energy poverty and justice, energy efficiency, and transitions to low-carbon futures across UK, Europe and the Global South, as part of more than 60 projects funded by international organizations, national governments, charitable bodies and the private sector. I have specialist expertise in energy inequality measurement and identification, socio-demographics, as well as energy policy development and evaluation. This has been presented in over 150 peer-reviewed scientific publications and seven books on the subject.

I have a detailed knowledge of fuel poverty and policy in the UK over the last 30 years. I am particularly interested in the geographic distribution of fuel poverty, on which I have just completed a paper (with Cait Robinson). This found current policy using Energy Company Obligations (ECO) is not well targeted on areas in greatest need.

I have experience in low carbon transitions and retrofit from a local government perspective, based on my work in academic research (university), policy development (think tank), practitioner (in local government and social housing), and cross-sectoral collaborations in all three fields.

I am doing multi-site research over time in England and Australia, and across Europe. While this work is not comparative per se, it provides insights into place based actions towards net zero and the inequalities and exclusionary effects of such policies and practices.

I am interested in how people experience fuel poverty in daily life, as well as how policy and the energy market shape these experiences. I also research the transition to Net Zero, and how it is likely to impact on those that are already vulnerable (including those already in fuel poverty).

My research focuses on the development of evidence-based built environment decarbonisation policy that is inclusive (considers all sectors of the building stock) & resilient (to future climate change). I am an expert in identifying equitable solutions for Hard to Decarbonise Homes, where the reduction of carbon emissions involves costs that are higher, barriers that are more difficult to overcome, or solutions that are more complex to implement

My current research focuses on power and inequality. I aim to uncover the institutional and structural arrangements that render some people vulnerable to energy poverty, such as the design of energy/housing markets and the stigmatisation of marginalised groups in society.

I am an expert in the relationship between climate policy, fuel poverty, and policy. I strongly believe that we can address climate change goals (e.g. net zero) in a fair and just way that lifts the most vulnerable out of fuel poverty.
