% of homes
Fuel poverty occurs when 10%
or more of household income is
spent on energy costs with the
main causes being high energy
costs and low household incomes.
Choice manages some of the
most energy efficient homes in
Northern Ireland and continues to
invest in energy efficiency. To help
reduce fuel poverty levels, we
advise all of our customers to:
•
use energy wisely,
• compare energy suppliers and
switch if beneficial and
• have a benefits check carried
out by our Financial Inclusion
Team.
