Nest Annual Report 2011-12

If you spend more than 10% of your household income on fuel bills, you are fuel poor.

In our Fuel Poverty Strategy we committed to develop a new fuel poverty scheme. We called this scheme Nest. Nest targets fuel poor households and offers a wide range of measures to help them. The Nest scheme also provides advice and support to help householders reduce their fuel bills

So what has Nest done?

The Nest scheme has made a real difference to fuel-poor households in Wales in its first year. Nest has provided advice and support to over 14,700 people. This has helped them reduce their fuel bills and access energy supplier support schemes such as the Warm Homes Discount.

Within this 14,700, more than 3,600 people have also received home energy improvements. These will help them to reduce their energy costs and improve their well-being.

The full report for Nest’s first year is available below.
