One million more homes in England could be in line for
help to cut their energy bills under the government’s latest strategy to tackle
fuel poverty. Ministers plan to change the way the government calculates whether
a household is fuel poor, after admitting that much more needs to be done to
reach its own fuel poverty targets. Under the government’s current definition,
2.55m households live in fuel poverty because they have low income relative to
high energy bills. Under the new definition about 3.66m households will be
considered fuel poor because they meet the existing criteria and also live in
draughty homes with low energy efficiency ratings. Read more on the Guardian
