uin	HL6231
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/03/2023 answer text <p>As with energy consumers on other tariff types, Economy 7 customers have been supported by, and continue to be helped by the Energy Price Guarantee (EPG), which limits the unit rate of energy. The average GB domestic consumer has saved £900 through the EPG.</p><p> </p><p>The EPG provides the same unit discount across all domestic consumers regardless of region and payment method. This means that the underlying differences in the cost to serve different payment types and regions that underpins the Ofgem price cap is maintained.</p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 22/03/2023 15:20:05 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/02/2022 answer text <p>Setting tariffs is a decision of suppliers.</p><p> </p><p>Supply Licence Conditions, as enforced by the independent energy regulator Ofgem, stipulate payments which must reflect the cost to the supplier. The costs of supplying prepayment meters, compared to standard meters, are higher, due to the different meter requirements and different payment systems. The Energy Price Cap ensures those on prepayment meters pay a fair price for their energy.</p> answering member constituency Chelsea and Fulham answering member printed Greg Hands question first answered 25/02/2022 14:02:30 answering member 1526 label Biography information for Greg Hands

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Henley on 22 November 2018 (HL11417), whether SMETS compliant electricity meters are capable of producing a statement of solar panel units used as a percentage of total usage.
tabling member printed	Baroness Byford
uin	HL14140
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/03/2019 answer text <p>In order to produce a statement of solar panel electricity units used in a premises as a percentage of total usage, a premises would require multiple meters: a meter to record the amount of electricity generated by on-site renewables; and at least one meter to record the amount of electricity exported from the premises to the grid and the amount of electricity imported from the grid to the premises.</p><p>Most traditional meters are not able to measure the amount of electricity being exported so it would be necessary to have at least three separate meters to produce the required statement.</p><p>In contrast, all SMETS compliant electricity meters are capable of recording any electricity that is exported to the grid from on-site renewable generation sources, such as solar panels, net of the electricity from on-site renewables which is used within the premises. By combining two SMETS compliant meters in one premises – one operating as a generation meter for the on-site renewables and one to measure the import and export of electricity to and from the grid – it would be possible to produce the required statement. In each case, the smart meters would also be capable of recording generation and consumption on a half-hourly basis and the data would be available remotely.</p> answering member printed Lord Henley question first answered 07/03/2019 13:16:10 answering member 2616 label Biography information for Lord Henley
