About us
We advise on the effectiveness of policies aimed at reducing fuel poverty, and encourage greater co-ordination across the organisations working to reduce fuel poverty.
The Committee on Fuel Poverty (CFP) is an expert committee sponsored by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero.
Responsibilities
Our role is to:
- monitor and report on progress of the government’s Fuel Poverty Strategy
- support and challenge the government on delivery
- encourage and foster a partnership approach between government and stakeholders
- work where appropriate with the Committee on Climate Change
Who we are
The CFP consists of a Chair and up to 5 members who are appointed for 3 years.

Establishment of the CFP
The CFP replaces the former Fuel Poverty Advisory Group (FPAG). This follows a triennial review of FPAG which took place during 2014.
In 2025 the CFP changed from an non-departmental public body to an expert committee.
