MESH Chapter 12 Energy/Fuel poverty

This chapter explores the importance of fuel poverty, its role in policy development, and the measurement of fuel poverty in the EU and other countries. It also discusses the factors specific to different countries and presents a case study on the UK. The chapter proposes issues to consider in establishing a consistent definition and measurement of fuel poverty across all countries, including the adequate level of warmth and the use of modeled or actual spend. It also examines different ways of measurement and the inclusion of cooling in fuel poverty measurement.

  2. Chapter 12 - structure • Why fuel poverty matters • The role of fuel poverty in policy development • Extent of fuel poverty measurement in the EU and other countries • Summary of fuel poverty measurement • How estimates can be derived • Factors specific to different countries • Case study – the UK

  3. Chapter 12 – issues to consider • Need a definition and measurement of fuel poverty that is consistent across all countries • What is an adequate level of warmth? This might differ depending on the country involved (e.g. higher temperatures for cold countries, cooling for hotter countries) • Should we base our measurement on the need to spend (i.e. modelled) or actual spend? • And if basing it on the modelled spend, how could we calculate this based on limited data? • Ways of measurement: • Direct measures • Proxy measures • Associated impact measures

  4. Chapter 12 – issues to consider • How would we include cooling in the measurement of fuel poverty? This is not done currently. • Useful to know how many countries have expenditure surveys that we could use data from. • How important is the role of fuel poverty in developing countries energy policy? • Should access to particular types of energy be included? • To what extent can we use the UK case study as a template to measure fuel poverty?
