About fuel poverty

Fuel poverty affects the most vulnerable residents in our communities. It can have serious impacts on their wellbeing, especially for:

• young children
• people with reduced mobility
• people aged over 65
• people with a health condition

We are committed to helping our residents reduce their fuel bills and keep warm and well.

There are several schemes available to Birmingham residents, including:

• free installation of central heating
• switching energy suppliers
• support with fuel debts
• energy saving measures
• energy efficient appliances
