LucidTalk – NEA NI: September 2025 – Northern Ireland (NI) Attitudinal Poll

NEA NI calls for the final Climate Action Plan to integrate efforts to reduce carbon emissions with measures to end fuel poverty.

If you are on a low income, live in the private rented sector or live in an old, cold home (or all three), you now need to prepare for the cold season.

We wish to stress again, that fuel poor households cannot end up being disproportionate sponsors of hitting the renewable electricity target. It is imperative that there is a fair distribution of the cost of decarbonisation with those on the lowest incomes protected.

The Fuel Poverty Coalition (FPC) Northern Ireland is united by our ambition to highlight the need for urgent action to eradicate fuel poverty in Northern Ireland. There is clear need for a strategic, cross-departmental, and cross-sectoral approach to tackle NI’s fuel poverty crisis.

NEA NI has long advocated for an updated Fuel Poverty Strategy, as there is a clear need for a strategic, cross-departmental, and cross-sectoral approach to tackle Northern Ireland’s fuel poverty crisis.
