Xoserve Decarb Discussions

Considering fuel poverty as the energy system changes

Xoserve Episode 13

In this episode of Decarb Discussions, join Xoserve’s Victoria Mustard as she talks to Matthew Cole, Head of Fuel Bank Foundation.


Matthew’s work brings him into contact with many UK families and individuals struggling with fuel poverty. These are often people who understand very well how important energy efficiency is but can’t fund efficiency measures; people who expect to go without heat and light for part of every month; people regularly forgotten in conversations about the future of heat and energy.


Hosted by Victoria Mustard, Decarbonisation Strategy Lead, Xoserve

Guest Speaker: Matthew Cole, Head of Fuel Bank Foundation


This episode covers:

  • How energy efficiency can help us get to net zero
  • Why our future energy system must work for everyone
  • How data could help us overhaul the energy grant system
  • How better communication on energy can make a difference.
