RDC PART OF FUEL POVERTY COALITION

02 December 2010

RDC has become part of the newly formed Northern Ireland Fuel Poverty Coalition.

In response to the significant increase in fuel poverty rates in Northern Ireland, the Consumer Council and National Energy Action and 50 organisations, including RDC, have come together to form the Northern Ireland Fuel Poverty Coalition.

The aim of the Coalition is to highlight the urgent action needed to eradicate the unacceptably high levels of fuel poverty that continue to persist in Northern Ireland and to drive forward the fuel poverty agenda. The group is calling on the Northern Ireland Executive to develop a detailed and costed action-plan setting out how and when Fuel Poverty will be eradicated in Northern Ireland and provide support to all fuel poor households to stay warm.
