Government Commitment to Tackling Fuel Poverty: Insights from the DECC Fuel Poverty Fund

The DECC Local Authority Fuel Poverty Competition 2012-13 emphasizes the government's dedication to combating fuel poverty among low-income households. With rising energy costs negatively affecting health outcomes, it's essential to ensure that vulnerable groups are not left behind as we transition to a low-carbon future. The competition attracted 136 applications, with over £31 million allocated to 60 projects across England aimed at improving the thermal efficiency of dwellings. These insights will inform future policy development and highlight effective local authority-led delivery models.
