Fuel poverty refers to the condition of having too little money to be able to keep someone's home warm (Cambridge Dictionary 2020). The fuel poor are those households who spend a significant portion of their income to sustain a reasonable heating regime. After a series of campaigns against "excess winter deaths" and following scholarly work of Boardman (1991), the UK's policy statement in 2001 declared that households who need to spend more than 10% of their income to achieve satisfactory heating as well as other energy services are fuel poor.
