NI 187: Tackling fuel poverty

Percentage of people receiving income based benefits living in homes with a low and high energy efficiency rating

NI 187 imposed a significant burden on local authorities. DECC statisticians have developed a methodology that more accurately measures fuel poverty at a local authority level, and which doesn’t impose any burden on local authorities. NI 187 has now been discontinued and has not been included on the comprehensive data list.


How the indicator worked

A detailed definition of NI187 can be found on the Audit Commission: NI187 web page.
