Recommendation 2
2
Establish an Energy Data Sharing Taskforce to improve support schemes and tackle fuel poverty.
Recommendation
The Government should immediately establish an Energy Data Sharing Taskforce involving energy suppliers, government departments, HMRC, local authorities, the National Health Service and relevant third parties. This should establish clear and effective mechanisms for data sharing with the specific ambition to improve the delivery of support schemes, enable the introduction of a social tariff and tackle fuel poverty. These improved mechanisms must be introduced before winter 2026–27. (Recommendation, Paragraph 18)
