Fuel poverty in England is measured by the Low Income High Costs definition, which considers a household to be in fuel poverty if:

  • they have required fuel costs that are above average (the national median level)
  • were they to spend that amount they would be left with a residual income below the official poverty line

The key drivers behind fuel poverty are:

  • The energy efficiency of the property (and therefore, the energy required to heat and power the home)
  • The cost of energy
  • Household income

The 2012 fuel poverty dataset and advanced use data, as well as the associated English Housing Survey (EHS) data behind the statistics presented will be made available on the UK data archive later this summer.
