UK trade associations support government program to help poor with fuel

Trade associations for the oil heating industry in the UK and the Republic of Ireland Federation of Petroleum Suppliers (FPS) and the Oil Firing Technical Association have joined forces to support the government’s newly unveiled fuel anti-poverty plan for England.

Designed to highlight and enable the government to prioritize help for those living in fuel poverty in England, with the aim of making homes warmer through an investment in energy efficiency initiatives, this fuel poverty strategy is the first in years.

“We greatly welcome this plan by the government, especially as it will not only help those living in fuel poverty in gas-heated homes but those who can’t afford to properly heat their off-grid homes too,” explains Mark Askew, chief executive of FPS.
