answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/11/2020 answer text <p>Smart meters provide households accurate, near real-time information about energy consumption in pounds and pence via an In-Home Display, so consumers can easily understand how to use less and save money on their bills.</p><p> </p><p>Consumers with smart meters are making energy and bill savings. Smart Energy GB has found that almost 7 in 10 customers with smart meters are more conscious of their energy use, while British Gas has reported that its dual-fuel customers with smart meters are making sustained annual energy savings of more than 3%. A dual-fuel household that has smart meters installed in 2020 is expected to realise average bill savings of £290 over the remainder of the rollout.</p><p> </p><p>Research from Ofgem shows that households with smart meters are no less likely to switch energy supplier to receive a better deal than those with traditional meters.</p><p> </p><p>The Department holds data on the impact of smart meters on household energy bills and switching for Great Britain; we do not collect it at a local level or for England.</p> answering member constituency Spelthorne answering member printed Kwasi Kwarteng question first answered 26/11/2020 14:58:46 answering member 4134 label Biography information for Kwasi Kwarteng
