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.

Urban Fuel Poverty describes key approaches to defining and alleviating fuel poverty in cities using a multidisciplinary perspective and multiple case studies. It provides empirical knowledge on the levels and intensities of energy poverty in urban areas, along with new theoretical perspectives in conceptualizing the multidimensionality of energy poverty, with special focus given to the urban environment. Chapters discuss what energy poverty is in terms of taxonomy, stakeholders and affected parties, addressing the role of the economy and energy bills, the role of climate and city factors, the role of buildings, and the health and psychological impact on fuel poverty. The book addresses how to measure energy poverty, how to map it, and how to draw conclusions based on illness and social indicators. Finally, it explores measures to ‘fight’ fuel poverty, including policy and governance actions, building efficiency improvements and city planning. Bridges interdisciplinary divides between policy and economy, cities and buildings, and health and society Addresses the physical performance of urban fuel poverty and their effect on thermal comfort and human health Provides strategies and policies to mitigate energy and fuel poverty

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.

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.

The first fully comparative study of fuel poverty across the EU, this work analyses the relationship between domestic energy efficiency, fuel poverty and health. The book adopts a holistic approach, incorporating a large number of social and economic risk factors to present a large-scale, cross-country, longitudinal analysis. The book is unique in: * Developing a new (consensual) methodology for calculating cross-country fuel poverty levels; * Presenting a detailed econometric/statistical analysis of EU fuel poverty; * Detailing the results of an empirical investigation of EU housing conditions, affordability and housing satisfaction; * Identifying risk factors related to seasonal variations in mortality across the EU; * Offering an empirical examination of health outcomes associated with fuel poverty; * Providing startling new evidence on fuel poverty in Southern Europe. Housing, Fuel Poverty and Health provides a powerful reference source for researchers and practitioners in the areas of energy economics, public health and epidemiology, housing and social policy.

Energy Poverty and Vulnerability provides novel and critical perspectives on the drivers and consequences of energy-related injustices in the home. Drawing together original research conducted by leading experts, the book offers fresh and innovative insights into the ways in which hitherto unexplored factors such as cultural norms, environmental conditions and household needs combine to shape vulnerability to energy poverty.

This open access book aims to consolidate and advance debates on European and global energy poverty by exploring the political and infrastructural drivers and implications of the condition across a variety of spatial scales. It highlights the need for a geographical conceptualization of the different ways in which household-level energy deprivation both influences and is contingent upon disparities occurring at a wider range of spatial scales. There is a strong focus on the relationships among energy transformation, institutional change and place-based factors in determining the nature and location of energy-related injustices. The book also explores how patterns and structures of energy poverty have changed over time, as evidenced by some of the common measures used to describe the condition. In part, this means investigating the makeup of energy poor demographics across various social and spatial cleavages. More broadly, it also argues that energy sector reconfigurations are both reflected in and shaped by various domains of social and political organization, especially in terms of creating poverty-relevant outcomes.
