Tackling Fuel Poverty: A Partnership Approach
The Northern Ireland Fuel Poverty Advisory Group's First Annual Report, 4th July 2006
This Report is made to the Minister and records the Advisory Group’s opinion based on a full year of activity. It acknowledges the substantial pro g re ss made to date and provides a challenge across government departments to deve lop or adjust policy in order to eradicate fuel poverty. The Advisory Group is delighted that its Report will inform the work and priorities of the Inter - departmental Group on Fuel Poverty and, as such, will encourage the Inter- departmental Group to look differently at fuel poverty and to respond by developing initiatives that address the dynamics which have a causal relationship in respect of fuel poverty, i.e. the energy efficiency of dwellings, the price of energy and household income.
