Fighting fuel poverty and climate destruction
Ending Fuel Poverty
We campaign for energy justice, and propose a solution: Energy For All.
About Fuel Poverty
Our energy system is rigged and fuel poverty is on the rise. But we can fight back.
Prepayment meter win
After winning millions in compensation, what can we do next to ensure NO ONE is cut off from the energy they need to survive?
Ofgem is failing us
Ofgem’s duty is to protect consumers. Instead, it’s protecting healthy profits for energy firms and lining shareholder pockets.
Free energy is possible
Ruth looks at how the absurdity of paying windfarms to turn off shows up the deliberate unfairness of our energy system
The Energy Pricing Revolution
We are all entitled to energy for heating, washing, lighting, cooking, connectivity, and medical needs. Let’s get the money back from the fossil fuel giants who are profiting from our unpayable bills!
What
Energy For All will give every household the essential energy they need to stay safe and well, for free. Higher amounts will be given to those in greater need due to age, health, disability, children or leaky housing. No unfair standing charges or prepayments. Not cut off when money is tight. And leaky homes upgraded.
Why
The UK is a wealthy nation, but millions are suffering from fuel starvation and forced to live in cold damp homes. Existing support is clearly inadequate and being further reduced. We need a real safety net that people don’t fall through. And pricing that is not upside-down, with poorer people forced to pay more per unit than the wealthy.
How
The money needed to give us all energy security can come from the grotesque profits being made by fossil fuel companies enjoying artificially inflated prices. And from higher tariffs for extravagant, wasteful use of energy. Our government is subsidising fossil fuels with millions of pounds every day. Fuel Poverty Action started the Energy For All campaign to end these injustices for good.
