A further 100,000 people were pushed into fuel poverty in 2022, new figures show, as households brace for another energy bill hike gracegausden93 reports:
The Government said there were an estimated 13.4 per cent of households – working out as 3.26 million – in England last year who were unable to afford to keep their home adequately heated. This is up from 13.1 per cent – 3.16 million – in 2021, according to its annual fuel poverty statistics published today.
Some 30.3 per cent, or 7.39 million, of households had to spend more than 10 per cent of their income on energy costs, up from 20.5 per cent in 2021.are the reason for the increase, according to the Government.
Adam Scorer, chief executive of National Energy Action, said: “The worst of the energy crisis is not represented [in this data] – people are being forced to self-disconnect, struggling with ice on the inside of their windows and living with damp and cold. “From April, the average annual bill will rise and that means without Government intervention – both for energy efficiency measures and financial support with bills – the number in fuel poverty will continue to rise.”
