On 8 October, Ludo Horemans participated in the EPEE EU Conference on fuel poverty organised by EPEE (European Fuel Poverty and Efficiency) Consortium funded by the Energy Intelligent Europe Programme. He highlighted the importance to tackle the growing problem of fuel poverty by an integrated approach embrassing the issues of an adequate minimum income, the high level of energy prices and the promotion of energy efficiency.
He also showed that EAPN is strongly committed at the EU and national levels to contribute to the eradication of this problem so as to improve the living conditions of people experiencing poverty. He finished by making key recommendations to strengthen the rights of vulnerable consumers (see his powerpoint presentation here).
