Book excerpt: Professor John Hills' report on fuel poverty (March 2012, DECC) found that the problem of fuel poverty was being measured in the wrong way. Proper measurement is integral in designing effective polices to counter fuel poverty. This consultation looks at changing the approach to measurement (currently based on whether a household would need to spend more than 10% of its income on energy to keep warm). Section 1 sets out the background to the Hills Review and summarises its main findings. Section 2 focuses on the proposal for a new definition (the Low Income High Costs indicator) and also covers the recommended changes to the methodology used to calculate the fuel poverty statistics. The proposed changes raises questions about how a new definition fits with t he current target, which is set out in the Warm Homes and Energy Conservation Act 2000. Section 3 of this paper considers whether the definition and target should be aligned and how to achieve that. Finally, section 4 considers next steps. The Government intends to publish a refreshed fuel poverty strategy early in 2013 incorporating the new definition.

Book excerpt: Since its publication in the early 90s, Brenda Boardman's Fuel Poverty has been the reference text for those wishing to learn about this complex subject. In this, its successor, she turns a critical eye to the new millennium and finds that the situation, while now more widely recognised, is far from having improved. The book begins by discussing the political awakening to the issue and exploring just who constitutes the fuel poor. It examines the factors that contribute to fuel poverty - low incomes, high fuel prices and poor quality housing - and looks at and evaluates the policies that have been employed to help reduce the problem. The latter part presents a detailed set of proposals based around long-term improvements in the housing stock that must be employed if we are to avoid a dire situation continuing to get worse. Based on detailed analysis of the situation in the UK, the growth of fuel poverty (sometimes called energy poverty) in other countries and the new focus in European policy makes the book timely and provides important lessons for those who now have to produce policies to tackle the issues.

Book excerpt: In 2001, there were an estimated 1.8 million households affected by fuel poverty in England, a problem which damages people's quality of life and health, with more illnesses such as influenza, heart disease and strokes, as well as increased risk of death in winter. The 'Warm Front' scheme, costing on average £150 million a year, is part of the government's UK Fuel Poverty Strategy. It seeks to improve the home energy efficiency of vulnerable groups, such as households with children, those aged 60 years and over, the disabled and long-term sick, by providing grants for insulation and heating to homes in the owner occupier and private rented sectors. The report finds that the scheme has potential but its effectiveness in helping to eliminate fuel poverty is impaired by a number of issues including the eligibility criteria; the inadequacy of heating and insulation measures; and the limited targeting of grants to those in greatest need. Recommendations are made to ensure the scheme meets the Strategy's aims including the need for greater research on its impact, improved targets; and that the Government should consider concentrating eligibility criteria on low income groups in receipt of means-tested benefits.

Download or read book Fuel Poverty written by Kazi F. Hossain and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2012-07 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Fuel Poverty Strategy made a commitment to eliminate fuel poverty throughout the UK by 2016. However, due to various factors including rising energy prices and the economic downturn, fuel poverty has increased year on year since 2003, and it is now estimated over 4 million households are affected. This book examines the impact the new Local Authority Performance Framework is having on tackling fuel poverty at the local level. The new framework has given local authorities (LAs) increased power to determine the local policy agenda. However, despite the growth of fuel poverty less than a third of LAs in the UK have adopted the performance indicator (NI187) associated with monitoring and alleviating fuel poverty as part of their local policy framework. It is at this critical juncture of increasing fuel poverty and dramatic change in the nature of local governance that this timely research is conducted. The study analyses the impact of NI187 and the new LA performance framework on fuel poverty alleviation, and concludes with a series of policy recommendations aimed at improving abatement at the local level.

This book was released on 2013-07-01 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fuel poverty is a serious problem faced by millions of households in the UK. This paper builds on Professor John Hills' report on fuel poverty (March 2012, DECC) and the Government's proposals outlined in 'Fuel poverty: changing the framework for measurement' (Cm. 8440, Sept. 2012, ISBN 9780101844024). Section 1 provides an overview of why fuel poverty matters, revisiting Professor Hills' work which established fuel poverty as a long-term structural problem and provided a new understanding that the issue is driven not only by low income but by the characteristics of the homes in which people live. Section 2 sets out the new Low Income High Cost indicator which will be used to define the problem. Section 3 looks at what this new approach can tell about who the fuel poor are and the scale of the problems they face, and sets out guiding principles. Section 4 examines the current policy package against the new framework whilst section 5 sets out means to target those most in need and identifies short term priorities. Finally section 6 lays out the new target and its planned introduction through secondary legislation. The aim will be to ensure fuel poor households attain a certain standard of energy efficiency in their homes as well as providing other assistance for managing bills or offering immediate help with energy bills.
