The Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS) publishes annual statistics on the number and proportion of households that are fuel poor in lower super output areas (LSOA) as well as other regional granularities.
Resource
Fuel poverty in England is measured using the Low Income Low Energy Efficiency (LILEE) indicator. Under this indicator, a household is considered to be fuel poor if:
- they are living in a property with a fuel poverty energy efficiency rating of band D or below
and
- when they spend the required amount to heat their home, they are left with a residual income below the official poverty line
There are 3 important elements in determining whether a household is fuel poor:
- household income
- household energy requirements
- fuel prices
