Practical solutions for tackling fuel poverty, improving energy efficiency, and supporting vulnerable households
Local and combined authorities as well as housing associations face increasing pressures to reduce fuel poverty, meet decarbonisation targets, and support vulnerable communities, all while managing tight budgets and limited resources.
To support with achieving goals, National Energy Action can provide tailored consultancy services to help organisations deliver practical, scalable, and effective solutions, drawing on over four decades of experience in energy efficiency, fuel poverty, and social impact.
By working with NEA, your organisation’s experiences and insights also feed into national policy and campaigning, helping to influence meaningful change across the UK.

Strategic Planning
We help local authorities and housing associations develop Affordable Warmth Strategies and energy action plans that balance ambition with practicality, ensuring targets are met, funding is maximised, and projects stay on budget.
Energy Efficiency Programmes
We support with the creation of cost-effective initiatives that reduce energy consumption, improve home insulation, and deliver measurable improvements in comfort and wellbeing. This helps authorities and housing associations address fuel poverty and decarbonisation goals simultaneously.
Training and Skills Development
We equip staff with the expertise and confidence to navigate the complexities of fuel poverty, health, and decarbonisation through flexible, in-person and online training.
Our programmes help your staff deliver effective energy interventions and engage residents successfully, while also supporting community skills development and employability.
Energy Education
We work with local schools to deliver workshops, assemblies, and lessons on topics such as energy efficiency, renewable technologies, net zero, and green careers. By inspiring young people, we help develop the next generation of energy professionals and build a lasting understanding of sustainable living.
Partnership Building
We facilitate cross-sector collaborations between local authorities, housing associations, health services, and community organisations. By enhancing resource-sharing and problem-solving, we help you maximise impact, reduce duplication, and achieve collective goals.
Product Innovation Trials
National Energy Action can help design and deliver trials of innovative technologies in fuel-poor households, providing evidence of scalable solutions that improve energy efficiency, comfort, and health, while contributing to decarbonisation objectives.
Community Engagement
We lead and support resident engagement initiatives, ensuring energy-saving solutions are well-adopted and that communities feel supported. Where local partners are already active, National Energy Action complements existing programmes to add value and avoid duplication.
Data Analysis & Evaluation
We provide robust monitoring and evaluation to track project impact, offering insights that inform future interventions and maximise outcomes.
