tabling member constituency	Inverclyde
tabling member printed	Iain McKenzie
uin	193739
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/03/2014 answer text <p>The Department's latest estimates for households installing energy efficient products in their property do not assume a single payback period. The time required to recover installation costs will depend on a large number of factors, specific to the household. Some of the main influencing factors are: the property's type and size; the measures installed and their cost; the household's pattern of energy use before the installation; the energy efficiency of the property before the installation; and whether or not there was a subsidy to contribute to the measure's cost.</p><p> </p><p>All the Department's take-up projections for energy efficiency measures assume that the households installing measures will recover all the installation costs, with payback ranging from 0 to 25 years.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bexhill and Battle answering member printed Gregory Barker question first answered 31/03/2014 12:00:00 answering member 1389 label Biography information for Lord Barker of Battle

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/03/2014 answer text <p>Electricity generation in the U.K. is privatised and the decisions on spare step-up transformers are for the individual generator businesses. Electricity transmission operations in the U.K. are private, regulated businesses. Decisions on spare transmission connected transformers are matters for the transmission businesses, to meet the licence conditions under which they operate; they form an important component in the provision of reliability of supply. The Department of Energy and Climate Change does not hold data on generator step-up transformer or transmission connected transformer quantities held as spares by industry.</p> answering member constituency Sevenoaks answering member printed Michael Fallon question first answered 31/03/2014 12:00:00 answering member 88 label Biography information for Sir Michael Fallon
