BRE has been measuring fuel poverty on behalf of the UK government since the 1990s. The new publication describes the origins and development of the fuel poverty concept, its measurement in the UK and how it is used to help target households most at risk of being unable to heat their homes.

The concept considers that households may be placing themselves at risk by not heating their homes to sufficiently to prevent ill health. To assist these households, it is first necessary to identify them.

The two main measures of fuel poverty are the 10% definition and the Hills low income high costs (LIHC) definition.

* The 10% definition identifies fuel-poor households as those that would be required to spend more than 10% of their household income on fuel in order to meet a specified heating regime.
* The Hills LIHC (Low Income High Costs) definition identifies fuel-poor households as those that income below the official poverty line coupled with higher-than-average fuel costs.

At present the Hills LIHC definition is used to measure fuel poverty in England, whilst the 10% definition is used in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

The publication explains the development and definitions of fuel poverty, and summarises fuel poverty trends over time. It considers who the fuel poor are, and looks at the reasons for changing levels of fuel poverty. It is intended to provide background to the concept for housing associations and providers, energy suppliers, policy makers, energy consultants and academics.
