Academics have developed a new way to measure the households most at the mercy of the energy crisis.
Increasing energy bills are having a devastating effect on the millions of people "trapped" in fuel poverty, a report has found.
Nearly one third of households who are unable to manage high energy prices, an increase from one quarter prior to the energy price crisis, reported the study. The study comes from researchers at the University of Sheffield, the UK Energy Research Centre, and Universities of Nottingham, East Anglia and Macedonia.
"The UK Government has already attempted to mitigate the impact of the crisis with measures such as the universal energy price guarantee, which has allowed for speed of action in the intervention," said Prof Giulietti. "However this was a temporary measure for most consumers and potentially failed to support the most vulnerable. As price volatility and uncertainty persist, policy interventions in the energy market will need to be better targeted to avoid further detriment to the most vulnerable households.
