Fuel poverty
The Energy White Paper, published in 2003, sets out our key energy policy goals and strategy for the next half century. One key commitment is to “ensure that every home is adequately and affordably heated”, with the aim that as far as reasonably practicable no household in Britain should be living in fuel poverty by
2016-18.
