BEIS Fuel Poverty Strategy for England: consultation response
In September 2019 we responded to BEIS's proposed updated Fuel Poverty Strategy. After years of missed targets action and funding for the government's own statutory fuel poverty targets are woefully inadequate. The targets themselves, essential to meeting legally binding carbon reduction as well as a no-brainer in terms of returns on investment are still couched in terms of 'as far reasonably possible' which runs counter to their moves to increase measurability of the targets. Community energy is a key intermediary, innovator and deliverer of energy efficiency and fuel poverty measures and should be valued and funded accordingly.
