Fallon Wilkinson has been appointed as a new member of the Committee on Fuel Poverty for a three-year term. The Committee said Wilkinson joined on 13 April 2026 and will serve alongside existing recent appointees Professor Richard Fitton and Ross Armstrong. The appointments follow the departure of Anu Singh and Liz Bissett at the end of their terms.
The Committee on Fuel Poverty is an expert advisory body which advises on the effectiveness of policies designed to reduce fuel poverty. It also encourages co-ordination between organisations working in the area and monitors the Government’s progress on its Fuel Poverty Strategy. Its current annual research project is focused on the lived experience of fuel poor homes which have a heat pump.
Wilkinson has worked in the water retail sector for more than a decade and currently leads regulation and compliance at Water Plus. She is also chair of the national Retailer Wholesaler Group and has previously worked on energy market reform, energy efficiency, housing and local government policy. The Committee said she also brings experience of work with vulnerable groups, including as a board adviser at I Have a Voice CIC.
