Fuel Poverty Advisory Group
The Fuel Poverty Advisory Group (FPAG) is an advisory body sponsored by the Government to report on the progress of delivery of the Government’s Fuel Poverty Strategy in England and to propose and implement improvements to regional or local mechanisms for its delivery. The Group also has a role in encouraging key players to tackle fuel poverty. The Secretariat for FPAG is provided jointly by Defra and BERR.
The Group consists of senior representatives from organisations such as the energy industry, charities and consumer bodies. The members chosen to serve on the group are representative ex officio members who are able to take a broad and impartial view on the issues involved in alleviating fuel poverty. The role of the Group is:
- To consider and report on the effectiveness of current policies in delivering reductions in fuel poverty and the case for greater co-ordination
- To identify barriers to the delivery of reductions in fuel poverty and to the development of effective partnerships, and propose solutions
- To consider and report on any additional policies needed to deliver the Government’s targets
- To enthuse, and encourage, key players to tackle fuel poverty
- To consider and report on the results of the work to monitor fuel poverty
