Details
The research on policy tensions and synergies was carried out on behalf of the Committee on Fuel Poverty (CFP) by the Centre for Sustainable Energy (CSE).
The CSE was commissioned to conduct this study to better understand:
- the synergies, tensions and trade-offs which exist in how household energy policies and programmes in England contribute to (or, potentially undermine) objectives to tackle fuel poverty, reduce carbon emissions and keep household energy bills affordable
- whether there are policy changes which can increase synergies and reduce tensions and thereby optimise the outcome across the 3 objectives
- high level principles which capture the nature of such ‘optimisation’ and which could be applied to future policy design
The documents include:
- an executive summary
- the full report
- the CFP response to the report
