The Committee on Fuel Poverty (CFP) has commissioned a new research project to understand:
- the key barriers and enablers to ensure fuel poor households make a fair and equitable transition to net zero
- the customer journey during the delivery of energy efficiency programmes in 2023 to 2024
The research is being led by the Centre for Sustainable Energy.
The research will provide a valuable up-to-date evidence base for the CFP on the experiences, barriers and enablers of households during this crucial time. The research will comprise of 3 work strands:
- rapid evidence assessment (REA): examining published material relevant to fuel poverty, energy efficiency schemes and an equitable net zero transition
- in-depth interviews: gathering evidence from key stakeholders and a small number of fuel poor households on the barriers and enablers faced by fuel poor households engaging with energy efficiency schemes
-
deliberative workshops: a series of workshops with key stakeholders to explore in detail the barriers and enablers for households in fuel poverty, and to consider:
- how these can be either utilised or overcome
- what role the state should play in facilitating this transition
