JOIN FUEL POVERTY ACTION AND RECLAIM THE POWER AS WE CONFRONT THE TRADE ASSOCIATION OF THE BIG SIX ENERGY COMPANIES – ENERGY UK.

MEET AT THE INSTITUTE OF DIRECTORS, 116 PALL MALL AT 11.30AM. WE’LL THEN MARCH TO ENERGY UK, 5-11 (LOWER) REGENT STREET.

On the day the government reveals how many people died last year from the effects of fuel poverty, join Fuel Poverty Action and Reclaim the Power to demand ‘No More Deaths from Fuel Poverty: Energy Rights Now!’

We’ll be meeting outside the Institute of Directors, on Pall Mall before marching to Energy UK – the body who represent and defend the Big Six profiteers, for an inclusive and creative action. The day will end with a tutorial on knowing your energy rights and how protecting yourself and your community from energy companies.

In 2012/2013 10,000 people died from fuel poverty, including thousands of people in London, and we are likely to learn that thousands more died last winter.

At the same time the Big Six energy companies made £3.7bn in profit – this is equal to £370,000 profit for every person who died. Join us to express sadness, anger and solidarity with those who have suffered; and to point the finger at those responsible. We will end the day by empowering one another to fight for energy rights and energy justice. We need affordable, sustainable and publicly and community owned energy. We don’t need greedy profiteers represented by Energy UK.
