Ending fuel poverty: Can we make warm, affordable homes a reality for everyone?

24 Nov 2026
Keynote stage
Explore what it will take to turn investment in warmer, more efficient homes into lasting reductions in fuel poverty. How can housing providers identify and support the households most at risk, target investment where it will have the greatest impact and ensure that new technologies genuinely reduce bills? The panel will examine how housing, energy and affordability strategies can work together to deliver warmer homes that residents can afford to heat.
