Researching Fuel Poverty to Inform Policy and Practice
National Energy Action conducts research with academic institutions and practitioners to inform both policy and practice around issues of fuel poverty and cold-related health problems. Some key projects include a collaborative study of sustainability issues in high-rise social housing which identified challenges like low temperatures and poor insulation but also opportunities for partnerships to make improvements. NEA also evaluated Npower's Fuel Bank scheme, finding it effectively reached those in energy crisis but that most users required ongoing support, suggesting a need for follow up services to create longer term impacts. NEA aims to generate meaningful evidence through engagement with affected groups to identify barriers to change and help partners implement solutions to support vulnerable households.
Communicating Energy Vulnerability: The 'Energy Advice' organisation
(1) The document discusses a research project that aims to explore energy advice in formal, informal, and online contexts. (2) The research will use qualitative methods to study energy issues, expertise, and understandings of vulnerability from the perspective of energy advisors. (3) Preliminary findings suggest that advisors see their institutional affiliation as giving them credibility with clients and that clients often seek advice due to energy debts but may not immediately change their behaviors.
Aug2 Session Irene Dimitry (DTE)
This document provides a summary of an energy efficiency products workshop presented by ICF. It discusses DTE Energy's company overview, including its electric and gas utilities serving Michigan customers. It then discusses DTE's high customer satisfaction scores and industry-leading cost management. The document outlines Michigan's aging power plant fleet and capacity needs. It summarizes new 2016 Michigan energy legislation establishing energy efficiency and renewable energy goals. Finally, it lists upcoming regulatory filings to implement the new legislation.
UK: A Market-led Response to Energy Efficiency
This document summarizes the UK's Energy Efficiency Commitment (EEC) policy, which places obligations on domestic energy suppliers to improve energy efficiency. It discusses that the EEC has gradually increased targets and scope since 2002. Suppliers must meet energy savings targets, with at least 50% in low-income groups. The market approach allows suppliers flexibility in measures. Most suppliers met EEC2 targets. The policy has effectively improved housing efficiency but further work is needed on more expensive measures and electricity use. The new Carbon Emissions Reduction Target doubles previous targets but maintains the market approach.
The elephant in the energy room: a note on Legendre and Ricci
This document discusses different dimensions and measures of fuel poverty. It summarizes that Legendre and Ricci investigate the risk of becoming "energy vulnerable" or unable to afford energy bills, but do not consider other dimensions like income-induced or housing-induced fuel poverty. In England, each dimension is associated with different vulnerable groups. The document also discusses alternative subjective measures of fuel poverty and proposes new minimum income and residual income measures. Finally, it outlines the European Commission and Ofgem's definitions of vulnerability in the energy market in terms of socio-demographic and transactional factors.
Our Built Environment: The Frontier of Energy Efficiency
Buildings are responsible for 40% of global energy consumption, and represent a huge GHG emissions reduction potential. A significant part of the emission savings can follow relatively quickly from identifying and implementing energy efficiency measures. Yet this is not always such a straightforward area for public and private action. How can we move faster from talking to acting, and unlock this enormous emissions savings potential?
Aug2 Session1 John Boladian (DTE)

crown jakarta fraud watch-Whistleblowers: Voluntary energy savings targets me...
The EU's 2006 energy services directive aimed to cut energy consumption through voluntary national energy savings targets. However, two whistleblowers say these targets were often met through "tricks and abuse" as non-binding targets lacked enforcement. National agencies ignored parts of the directive that were not legally required and used accounting tricks, such as measuring primary rather than actual energy consumption, to falsely report energy savings. With binding targets, there would have been more effort, ambition, and accurate implementation of energy efficiency measures. The lack of binding targets in the 2006 directive meant there was no risk of legal action for governments and less progress on energy efficiency goals compared to other climate policies.
Fuel Poverty and Energy Justice in the UK Nations
This document discusses a study on fuel poverty and energy justice policy in the UK nations from 2012 to 2017. The study included documentary analysis and 35 interviews with government departments, regulators, consumer advocates, campaign groups, parliamentary committees, and firms. Emerging findings include that a change in the English definition of fuel poverty has not led to apparent divergence yet. Price regulation and energy prices are seen as more central issues in an era when schemes have addressed easier homes to treat. Concerns about distributional, procedural, and recognition justice relating to funding policy, technical focus, and austerity impacts were also found. The study examines expertise, empathy, and the fuel poverty policy system across public and private institutions and organizations.
Green Deal, the ECO & local authorities - Steve Ives, DECC
The document discusses the Green Deal program in the UK, which aims to promote energy efficiency upgrades for homes and buildings. It outlines that the Green Deal will be a market-led mechanism funded by private capital, allowing energy efficiency improvements with no upfront costs via repayments on energy bills. It also discusses the role of the Energy Company Obligation (ECO) in supporting households that may not be suited for Green Deal financing and focuses on hard to treat homes and vulnerable groups. Local authorities will work with the Department of Energy and Climate Change to deliver the Green Deal and ECO.
Finding the Right Shade of Green Building
Build Green NH is New Hampshire's official green building certification program that certifies homes based on the National Green Building Program's standards. Green building aims to build homes more efficiently and with healthier materials. Legislation is pushing for higher energy efficiency standards in homes to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption. Build Green NH educates builders on green building techniques and certifies homes that meet green building benchmarks.

This document summarizes research on different types of "energy cultures" among low-income households in Vienna, Austria who experience fuel poverty. Through a secondary analysis of qualitative and quantitative energy data, five types of energy users were identified: comfort-oriented, frugal, multiply burdened, without options, and ambitious but misinformed. For each type, the document describes their energy-related material conditions, norms, practices, knowledge and how fuel poverty impacts their quality of life. It concludes that fuel poverty affects health, social participation and demands, and requires individual commitment to overcome. Definitions and measures against fuel poverty in Austria often focus on improving knowledge but should also address structural improvements to living conditions.
Jennni Cauvain Energy - vulnerability in multiple occupancy housing: a proble...
Housing in Multiple Occupancy (HMO) is an important shared housing solution for a diverse group of people in urban areas. HMOs are poorly understood by policies governing energy efficiency and fuel poverty, due to methodological problems of energy efficiency assessment, a deep-seated lack of representation and recognition of HMOs in general, and the societal marginalisation and stigmatisation of this type of housing. People in HMOs (e.g. new migrants, asylum seekers, students, young people) typically have reduced housing and welfare rights, whereas the buildings are extremely energy inefficient. Yet, HMOs have been substantially excluded from the UK government’s proposed minimum energy efficiency standard for the private rented sector. There is no definition of fuel poverty that applies if rent is inclusive of energy costs, the bills are shared, or where rental agreements are nonexistent or illegal; these are everyday occurrences in HMOs. There is a substantial coming together of socio-political and material issues giving rise to higher energy vulnerability in HMOs than in traditional single-family homes. This article focuses on the dynamic between UK policy mechanisms and regulations, and energy vulnerability in HMOs. An indicative typology of HMOs is proposed with the aim to provide a basis for the recognition and inclusion of HMOs in legal and policy frameworks.

The document discusses Mille Lacs Energy Cooperative's (MLEC) approach to using broadband internet access to support economic development in its rural service area. MLEC has been offering satellite and fixed wireless internet for over 15 years and received grants to expand fiber internet access. Broadband is seen as important for quality of life through telemedicine and education, and for economic development by attracting businesses and enabling home-based work. MLEC views broadband as a way to diversify revenues beyond seasonal electricity sales and provide system benefits like smart grid technologies. The cooperative aims to incrementally expand broadband access to benefit members rather than make grand investments.

Romania: energy poverty and the vulnerable consumer. How far are we from Europe?
This document discusses energy poverty and vulnerable consumers in Romania. It outlines a 12-month study funded by ENEL Romania and conducted in partnership with Deloitte Romania to analyze energy poverty in Romania, conduct field research, and engage decision-makers. The study finds that while Romania's main tool for addressing energy poverty is heating aid, only 20% of those in energy vulnerability are targeted, and wealthier groups are disproportionately assisted. It recommends establishing a national forum to define clear criteria for assistance, developing a long-term action plan focused on energy efficiency, and ensuring universal access to electricity.

The document discusses the Watergy program, which aims to maximize energy and water efficiency. It does this by reducing losses in water distribution systems, as every gallon of lost water requires energy. Watergy projects involve assessing end uses, designing for efficiency, and identifying financing. Case studies show projects in South Africa and Pennsylvania that saved millions in costs and water through leak detection and pressure management. Barriers to adoption include a focus on water delivery over efficiency, lack of data and training, and financing challenges for water utilities.

The document discusses three main types of sedimentary rocks: clastic rocks, chemical rocks, and organic rocks. Clastic rocks like shale, sandstone, and conglomerate form from fragments of pre-existing rocks. Chemical rocks such as rock salt and limestone form via precipitation from solution. Organic rocks including coal form from the remains of plants and animals. The key processes involved in forming clastic sedimentary rocks are weathering of source rocks, transport of fragments by wind/water, deposition, and cementation by minerals like silica.

The Green Deal in Stoke-on-Trent - by Iain Podmore
The document discusses Stoke-on-Trent's plans to deliver the Green Deal and Energy Company Obligation (ECO) programs. It notes that nearly half of private sector homes in Stoke-on-Trent fail to meet decent home standards and over 25,000 have solid walls in need of insulation. The city aims to offer solutions to all 112,000 properties by taking an area-based approach and maximizing ECO funding through partnerships. The local authority will de-risk investment by coordinating community engagement, planning, and negotiating high levels of ECO funding from multiple sources to support large-scale home retrofitting.
How to reach the hard-to-reach (energy users)?
Energy efficiency is sometimes called "the greatest market failure of all times" - it makes so much sense, is imperative to achieve the energy transition affordably, and yet it remains difficult to achieve the energy efficiency potential that technological and policy innovations promise to deliver. Is this because our technological and policy advances fail to reach all energy users in the same way? We believe that there is a significant percentage of the human population who can be regarded as “hard-to-reach (HTR) energy users”. These are the people policymakers, utility programme managers and research experts often struggle to engage with when designing and rolling out technological and behavioural interventions. Their barriers and needs are different to those "lower hanging fruit" energy users we understand well. This HTR audience segment becomes even larger once we expand from hard-to-reach individuals and groups in the residential, to those in the non-residential, particularly the commercial sector – especially if we look across all fuels and energy services, including mobility. This, potentially very large energy user segment is the focus of this new research collaboration and we present our first findings in this webinar.

Plugging the gap between energy poverty management and the lived experience: ...
As an introduction we will elaborate on the current policy and activities in the Netherlands and the UK, to show differences and promising examples of new ideas on how to tackle energy poverty. Accordingly, we will articulate a new approach to energy poverty policy, based on bringing insights from a multi-disciplinary understanding of the lived experience of energy poverty into policy design. We argue that understanding the lived experience of energy poverty is critical in designing appropriate policies, which are both effective and aligned with people’s day-to-day lives. In addition, the range of disciplines that examine the lived experience of energy poverty (housing, employment, education, social policy, health, energy etc.) help to give breadth to our understanding of this challenging condition. We propose five principles for policy design, informed by a multi-disciplinary understanding of the lived experience. These principles can be applied at a range of scales (local, regional, national and super-national).

Economics Demystified: All You Wanted to Know About GVA
Gross value added (GVA) is a measure of economic activity that represents the total value of goods and services produced in an area. It can be calculated using an output, income, or expenditure approach. While GVA indicates economic scale and growth, it does not directly measure well-being as it ignores issues like income inequality, environmental impacts, and how production is used. Gross disposable household income (GDHI) measures amounts available for households to spend or save after taxes and represents a redistributive effect across areas. The regional index of sustainable economic well-being (R-ISEW) attempts to incorporate social and environmental factors into the analysis framework alongside economic indicators.
