Fuel Poverty Package to be Unveiled Tomorrow (10/09/08)

Wednesday, September 10th, 2008

If you are waiting for the fuel poverty package to be announced before installing double glazing, it is expected to be unveiled tomorrow.  Despite expectations, there will be no windfall tax on energy companies’ profits. And whatever the package, you’ll want to be sure you’re getting the best value for your money.

It is expected, however, that over 10 million households will be offered financial help for the installation of loft insulation, a new boiler, and double glazing.

The announcement comes after Tuesday’s report by the National Housing Federation that showed a staggering quarter of the population will be in fuel poverty by next year.
