Details

This report is made against the backdrop of important developments since CFP’s third annual report - namely, the government’s commitment to a net zero economy by 2050, and the COVID-19 pandemic and related government response.

Our advice acknowledges stretched public finances, assists in stimulating the much-needed economic recovery through creating skilled jobs across the country, and contributes towards cost-effectively lowering carbon emissions over the longer term.

In the short term, priorities are to:

• help assist the fuel poor and low income families to manage the immediate impact of COVID-19 on their finances
• upgrade as many as is reasonably practicable of the remaining fuel poor Band F and Band G homes
• accelerate progress towards the Fuel Poverty Strategy 2025 milestone, and 2030 target
