Fuel poverty estimates are not available for each of the years requested. Fuel poverty estimates are available for 2018 (based on the Welsh Housing Conditions Survey) and headline modelled fuel poverty estimates for October 2021 were published in April 2022.
These headline estimates showed that, as of October 2021, up to 14% of households in Wales were estimated to be living in fuel poverty. Updating this with fuel prices from 1 April 2022, and assuming all households are on the price cap, it is estimated that up to 45% of all households could be in fuel poverty following the price cap changes in April 2022.
