Time to take real action on fuel poverty
Reacting to two independent reports released yesterday (Monday 24 October), the Scottish Federation of Housing Associations (SFHA) that while it is “extremely disappointing” that the Scottish Government’s target of ending fuel poverty will not be met, the reports provide an opportunity to take real action on home energy efficiency in order to address fuel poverty and reduce carbon emissions.
The Scottish Fuel Poverty Strategic Working Group andScottish Rural Fuel Poverty Task Force reports were published alongside a Scottish Government research paper on the likelihood of being fuel poor in rural Scotland.
