The Fuel Poverty Crisis 6.59 million UK households in fuel poverty in 2014

1.9 m children in fuel poverty in England Twice the risk of respiratory diseases Quadruple the risk of mental health problems

Children in fuel poverty in UK Netmums Survey – 1 in 4 members choosing between heating and eating

Elderly in fuel poverty in UK 31,000 Excess Winter Deaths last winter: 29% up on previous year One person dying every 6 minutes from the cold

Rising Energy Bills Energy bills have more than doubled since 2005

UK : bottom of Western Europe Fuel Poverty League Table

The Cause: The woeful state of Britain’s homes

Poor energy performance = high risk of fuel poverty

Climate change: homes 25% of carbon emissions

The long-term solution Massive improvement in energy performance

UK : funding reduced for fuel poor Government tells Energy & Climate Change Select Committee: “Neither the Government’s commitment to fuel poverty nor the spending directed towards it has diminished. Spending will, in fact, be higher in 2014/15 than it was in 2009/10.”

UK : funding reduced for fuel poor NOT TRUE! Income support for fuel poor cut by 28% Energy efficiency support for fuel poor reduced by 20% in 2014/15 Warm Front axed last year - only Exchequer-funded energy efficiency programme Just £1 in every £6.50 of Government spending goes on making homes energy efficient

The Ask To use carbon revenues massively to improve energy performance of our homes Association for the Conservation of Energy 14

The Carbon Revenue Prize £60 Billion Enough to hugely improve 9 million homes

The long term revenue stream Carbon revenues grow from £2 billion to £8 billion per year over 15 years

17 What could we achieve in a fuel poor home?

The Impact: million homes fuel poverty-proofed Quadrupled carbon savings Generation of 128,000 jobs

Biggest Fuel Poverty Alliance Ever Created in UK

Public Meetings Across UK

Media Coverage Generating more media coverage every month

The macro-economic case Cambridge Econometrics: Economic Impacts Short term investment stimulus – generates up to 71,000 jobs in 2015 – boosts economic output more than VAT cuts, fuel duty reductions and government spending – Best for growth Long term economic gains – Up to 128,000 jobs in 2027 – Lower gas imports – extra domestic spending – Best for growth

Political Support Grows 209 MPs in support Third most supported petition in Parliament out of 1330 Liberal Democrats adopt as official party policy Labour getting warmer

Target: Manifesto Commitments

Re-building Homes: The Number 1 Infrastructure Priority
