Low-income energy customers are most likely to ration their energy, which can put their physical and mental health at risk. #FuelPovertyAwarenessDay

Everyone has to pay the standing charge even if they don’t use any energy. This disproportionately affects low-income users. #FuelPovertyAwarenessDay

Energy prices are 50% higher than pre-crisis levels and people are struggling. This #FuelPovertyAwarenessDay we stand with @nea-ukcharity.bsky.social in tackling fuel poverty so people in SW London can stay warm, safe and healthy in their homes. Read here ➡️ www.crewenergy.london/blog/what-fu...

Today is Fuel Poverty Awareness Day - a few hard facts: ➡️ The energy crisis has continued for >3 years - with prices still 50% higher than before. ➡️ >6m UK households can't afford to keep warm, safe & healthy - householders in debt owe on average £2,875. ➡️ Energy debt soared by 57% in 1 year.

With all the talk about energy prices, I'm sure you're all asking yourselves how much households other than yours pay for energy. Surely not everyone spends £[insert price cap] a year. Ask no more. Here we explain and chart how things like heating tech, house size and lifestyles affect bills:
