Details

The Committee on Fuel Poverty (CFP) is an advisory Non-Departmental Public Body sponsored by the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS). We monitor and provide independent, expert advice on the government’s strategy to improve the energy efficiency of fuel poor homes in England to make them more affordable to heat.

In this annual report we cover the need to:

  • approve long term funding for government’s proposed energy efficiency programmes and focus them on the fuel poor
  • develop and implement additional programmes to meet the 2025 Band D milestone
  • ensure a fair transition to net zero for households who are vulnerable and in fuel poverty
  • ensure that low income households are protected against the impact of unaffordable increases in energy costs
