  2. Fuel Poverty costs How does fuel poverty impact on society? • Slows infant development – impact for life • Children and teenagers more likely to suffer: • Meningitis and respiratory problems • Long term ill health and disability • Slow physical growth and delayed cognitive development • Vulnerable adults more likely to suffer: • Heart attack, stroke or respiratory illness • Slips, trips and falls • Huge cost to NHS, Education, Social Services, Criminal Justice System – and people’s lives

  4. East Midlands Fuel Poverty levels • DECC 2008 LSOA dataset = 359,000 (19.2%) • Based on fuel costs, income and energy needed to heat homes • Hi4em 2011 LSOA dataset = 277,400 (14.1%) • Based on CO2 emissions, household income and fuel costs (Nottingham Energy Partnership web site March 2011) • What is actually spent rather than what is needed

  5. Spatial distribution

  6. Effect of price rises 15% Price rise: • 75,000 more fuel poor • 26.9% increase • 30%+ in parts of Lincolnshire • Map shows numeric increase Hi4em fuel poverty Model can be updated as prices fluctuate

  7. UK Carbon Reduction targets

  8. East Midlands targets

  9. Green deal – how many homes? • Lofts & cavities 2012-20: • 32,400 tonnes - equal to 381,000 loft top-ups or 81,000 cavity insulations • Major measures – primarily solid wall insulation • 243,000 tonnes – equal to 162,000 dwellings or 30% of all solid walled houses

  10. The task • Will get harder • Fuel market price increases • Cost of carbon reduction policies expected to be £200 per household • Policies expected to have much smaller impact where homes are fully insulated • Message: • Pay to insulate your home, or pay to insulate your neighbour’s home • Challenge: • Match Green Deals to fuel poor households

  11. Fuel Poor households DECC data: 61.4% are single adult households

  12. Fuel Poor households DECC data: 26.8% of single adult households are fuel poor

  13. Fuel Poor households Hi4em data: 71% are single adult households or home sharers

  14. Fuel Poor households Hi4em data: 26.9% are single adult households or home sharers

  15. Targeting • Average area of 3,000 households: • Target 1,000 single person households – data available to LAs through Council Tax single person discount • Reaches 269 in fuel poverty = approx 66% of all fuel poor • Leaves 139 fuel poor families to find

  16. Targeting Families in or at risk of fuel poverty Single person households in or at risk of fuel poverty

  17. Hi4em help • Hi4em model can be split into families and single person households • Your household data can be added to improve accuracy: • Insulation installed • Boilers replaced • CO2 emission estimates • Renewable energy installations • Household income data • Target areas based on most up-to-date data

  18. Hi4em help We can analyse data to give: • dwelling and household characteristics of fuel poor households in your area • loft, cavity and solid wall insulation targets to eliminate fuel poverty and meet carbon reduction targets in any area • Ranking of lower super output areas to your criteria – fuel poverty, dwelling age, vulnerability etc

  19. More information Full report and appendices: • Expands on these themes and gives much more data • Available at www.hi4em.org.uk
