Abstract
Fuel poverty refers to the condition of having too little money to be able to keep someone’s home warm (Cambridge Dictionary 2020). The fuel poor are those households who spend a significant portion of their income to sustain a reasonable heating regime. After a series of campaigns against “excess winter deaths” and following scholarly work of Boardman (1991), the UK’s policy statement in 2001 declared that households who need to spend more than 10% of their income to achieve satisfactory heating as well as other energy services are fuel poor.
