More than three-quarters of UK households to be in fuel poverty by the new year, according to new report
More than three-quarters of households in the UK, or 53 million people, will have been pushed into fuel poverty by January 2023, according to a new report authored by York academics.
The report predicts that, even with the £400 fuel rebate being offered by the government, 80.5% of households will be plunged into fuel poverty in Yorkshire and the Humber, 69% in London and 81% in Northern Ireland.
Struggling
People living in the poorest and coldest regions of the UK will be the worst affected along with those who are already most likely to be struggling with the cost of living. More than 90% of large families and pensioner couples will be in fuel poverty, the authors of the report calculate.
Fuel poverty is defined as having to spend over 10% of net income on fuel.
