The Fuel Poverty Coalition (FPC) Northern Ireland are united by the fact that they wish to highlight the urgent action needed to eradicate fuel poverty in Northern Ireland. Research by the fuel poverty charity National Energy Action (NEA) found that as many as 45% of homes in Northern Ireland might now be living in fuel poverty. This means that choosing between heating and eating is very much a reality for around 100,000 homes across the region.
There is a clear need for a strategic, cross-departmental, and cross-sectoral approach to tackle fuel poverty and it must be underpinned by a new Fuel Poverty Strategy. This report summarises the key policy priorities and deliverable actions that should be included in the design and implementation of a new strategy.
The report outlines what the FPC membership consider to be the key strategic priorities, tangible outcomes and deliverable action points central to the development of a new Fuel Poverty Strategy for Northern Ireland, to ensure it can deliver effectively for fuel poor homes.
