Scottish Fuel Poverty Advisory Panel

Overview

The Scottish Fuel Poverty Advisory Panel is an advisory non-departmental public body (NDPB) which will oversee Scottish Government progress in working towards the delivery of its fuel poverty targets and implementing the Fuel Poverty Strategy.

The Panel will:

• champion and foster a collaborative approach to addressing fuel poverty,
• engage with the public, private and third sector and people with lived experience of fuel poverty,
• work closely with the Poverty and Inequality Commission, including on the implementation of the Tackling Child Poverty Delivery Plan.

The Panel will also act as a statutory consultee on the Scottish Government’s fuel poverty progress periodic reports and on heat networks. The Panel provides an important means of external scrutiny.
