Great to see energy bills cut by average £150 in the budget - with the focus rightly on tackling the disproportionate cost of electricity. This should make it easier for people to benefit from clean power, and support people on electric heating, who are often in the deepest fuel poverty 1/2

The full report shows how the government can make energy efficiency upgrades, through its Warm Homes Plan.

Great to hear the panel talking about standards, and enforcement of those standards, as key to delivering the right outcomes in retrofit.

Rt Hon Caroline Flint talks about the importance of accountability, assurance and good governance when it comes to retrofit.
Our 'Hitting a Wall' report talks about the importance of effective consumer protections in the same way www.citizensadvice.org.uk/wales/policy...

Excellent line up and an important question for the panel discussion

#FuelPovertyConf

Great to be at the @nea-ukcharity.bsky.social #FuelPovertyConf and hearing from @miattafahnbulleh.bsky.social about the challenges faced by energy consumers, as well as how we respond. So important to put consumers at the heart of energy transition.
