answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/09/2014 answer text <p>Smart meters will bring an end to estimated billing, helping consumers to budget better and help make switching between suppliers easier and faster. Domestic and non-domestic consumers will have near-real time information on their energy consumption to help them control their energy use, and avoid wasting energy and money. Smart metering can transform the prepay experience. Topping up a smart meter in prepay mode should become as easy as topping up a mobile phone. New products and services will be supported in a vibrant, competitive, more efficient market in energy and energy management.</p><p>Suppliers will have access to accurate data for billing and to improve their customer service. They will also be able to reduce costs, for example by reducing call centre traffic, removing the need for a site visit to read meters and better manage debt.</p><p>Energy networks will have better information upon which to manage and plan their activities and smart meters enable smart grids which support sustainable energy supply.</p><p>Energy suppliers will be responsible for purchasing and installing smart meters. Energy suppliers and other energy industry participants, such as network operators, will also incur costs as part of upgrades to their systems and for Data and Communications Company services, so that they are able to take full advantage of smart metering.</p><p>As is the case with traditional meters, the Government expects that both costs and cost savings as a result of smart metering will be passed to consumers by competing energy suppliers through energy bills. We estimate that this is will result in energy bill reductions as a result of smart metering of £26 a year by 2020, rising to around £43 per household a year by 2030, for the average dual fuel domestic consumer – taking into account all the costs and savings.</p><p>The Impact Assessment, updated in January 2014, provides further details of these benefits and costs:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/smart-meter-roll-out-for-the-domestic-and-small-and-medium-non-domestic-sectors-gb-impact-assessment" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/smart-meter-roll-out-for-the-domestic-and-small-and-medium-non-domestic-sectors-gb-impact-assessment</a>.</p> answering member constituency West Suffolk answering member printed Matthew Hancock grouped question UIN 207543 question first answered 08/09/2014 14:58:32 answering member 4070 label Biography information for Matt Hancock
