Company Details:
A fuel-poor household cannot afford to keep the home adequately warm at a reasonable cost. The Government defines this using the low-income high cost (LIHC) indicator. This means that a household is fuel poor if their fuel costs are above average to be able to heat their home to an adequate standard. If they were to spend that amount, they would be left with a residual income below the poverty line. Affordable Warmth Strategy Our Affordable Warmth Strategy provides a five-year framework over which we aim to: Reduce fuel poverty Help residents of Peterborough to live in a warm, healthy and energy efficient home. The plan sets out the actions we will take to achieve this ambition.
