Statutory targets for eradicating fuel poverty in Wales

fuel poverty will be eradicated: • Amongst vulnerable households by 2010. • In social housing by 2012. • By 2018, there will be no-one in Wales living in fuel poverty

“I accept this is an ambitious target but I see no reason to aim low. Making homes more energy efficient is just one of three factors that contribute to fuel poverty.The Assembly Government cannot control people’s income and global fuel prices but we must aim to do all we can as far as is reasonably practicable to end fuel poverty”.

Jane Davidson, then Environment Minister, 29 July 2010
