NEA Annual Conference: Fuel Poverty, The Bigger Picture. 13-15th September 2010. The Adelphi Hotel, Liverpool
This year’s conference is sponsored by ScottishPower and supported by the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC). It will explore how tackling fuel poverty links to other Government agendas at a national and local level including health, jobs and skills, climate change, child poverty and general poverty and will look forward to the future of energy efficiency schemes post 2012 when the current schemes come to an end.
The four main sessions will cover:
• The Green Deal – debate on the future for energy efficiency and fuel poverty in a coalition Government,
• The way forward for energy efficiency – delivery, skills and financing for a low carbon future
• The unbelievable technical truth
• Tackling fuel poverty and health inequalities
There will also be a number of break-out sessions and interactive workshops.
The exhibition will showcase organisations whose products, initiatives and expertise are instrumental in finding successful solutions to tackle fuel poverty..

NEA research publications web-site
One of the functions of NEA’s research team is to develop and maintain a research database hosted on their website. The database contains a plethora of energy efficiency and fuel poverty related research reports from across sectors and disciplines. The research and information team monitor emerging research and add these to the database to broaden and extend NEA’s knowledge and awareness of current and past research and amongst other parties with an interest in the subject.

The research database provides an opportunity for users to explore previous research undertaken and as such can help to avoid duplication of effort, or to inform new studies and to develop new research questions.

The research team would like to encourage you to visit the research database and to let them know when you come across new research relevant to NEA’s agenda so that they can continue to add to the growing catalogue.

The on-line database can be accessed here
