Recent figures released by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) show that Cornwall has reduced fuel poverty by over 5,000 homes in a year.
On a visit to Cornwall, Minister of State for Energy and Clean Growth Claire Perry learned about Cornwall’s Winter Wellbeing Partnership work in reducing fuel poverty levels.
By 2030 Cornwall Council’s ambition is to remove a further 22,000 homes from fuel poverty.
Led by Cornwall Council, working with a range of partners, the programme is making a real difference to people’s lives, said a spokesperson.
