Abstract
⺠There are major failings in the existing official definitions of fuel poverty. ⺠expressing fuel costs as a percentage of income is a poor indicator of fuel poverty. ⺠A budget standard approach provides a more consistent, meaningful and fairer measure. ⺠The scale and nature of the problem changes dramatically with different definitions. ⺠The definition is crucial to the mix of policies and allocation of resources required.
