This report is the final in a series on improving support for low-income households through the transition to clean energy. It models a number of policy solutions that would reduce the amount that people on low incomes spend on energy, in order to reduce their energy stress and support a faster transition to clean energy. The results clearly show that measures focused on reducing the size of energy bills (investment in energy efficiency in homes and implementing a fair regulated retail price) and improving people’s capacity to pay (increasing Newstart and better targeted concessions) have a positive impact on reducing energy costs for people on low incomes.
