New research finds many in the Gypsy, Traveller, Roma, and Nomadic (GTRNCs) communities have been left without government support during the energy crisis.

Working with Friends, Families and Travellers and supported by the Which? Fund, this 18-month project aimed to explore the lived experience of GTRNCs living in or at risk of fuel poverty through the height of the energy crisis in 2022/2023.

A summary of the challenges and accomplishments of National Energy Action (NEA) in 2022 to 2023

Energy suppliers and consumer groups are calling on the Government to look now at bill support for customers this winter – including options such as a social tariff for next year and beyond.

Tomorrow (1 July) UK Government energy bills support ends for over two thirds of households across the UK. Ofgem’s price cap is reducing, meaning the typical annual bill will be £2,100 but 6.6 million UK households will be in fuel poverty.

Commenting on the publication of the Committee on Fuel Poverty’s annual report Adam Scorer, Chief Executive of National Energy Action, says: ‘The UK has some of the least efficient homes in Europe.’

30 June is the deadline for those who have not yet had their Energy Bills Support Scheme vouchers to get them reissued to them.

New research from Newcastle University on one of Great Britain’s largest fuel poverty projects finds that on average households saw their annual energy running costs drop from £2,011 to £1,089.
