	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/01/2019 answer text <p>BEIS publishes statistics on international energy price comparisons[1]. These show that for the UK, industrial gas prices are among the lowest in the EU-15 but industrial electricity prices have risen to be the most expensive for large and extra-large users of electricity.</p><p>The Government is committed to minimising energy costs for businesses to ensure our economy remains strong and competitive. Higher industrial electricity prices in the UK partly reflect how the costs of the electricity system are distributed across household and industrial customers. For example, while very large German industrial users pay electricity prices that are lower than those in the UK, German households faced electricity prices that were 68 per cent higher than UK households in 2017.</p><p>In his recent energy speech, my rt. hon. Friend the Secretary of State set out the importance of a fair distribution of costs and the principles that are intended to deliver policies that will lower the costs of the electricity system permanently. Further details will be set out in a White Paper this year.</p><p>The Budget on 29 October 2018 announced that £315 million is being provided for an Industrial Energy Transformation Fund to support industrial energy efficiency and decarbonisation projects to bring energy costs down for vital industries, including the steel sector.</p><p>The Government also continues to reduce the cumulative impact of energy and climate change policies on industrial electricity prices for key energy intensive industries. This includes a package of relief for these industries worth over £850 million since 2013, reducing the indirect cost of energy and climate change policies on their energy bills by up to 80 per cent.</p><p> </p><p>[1] <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/international-industrial-energy-prices" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/international-industrial-energy-prices</a></p> answering member constituency Devizes answering member printed Claire Perry question first answered 10/01/2019 16:58:26 answering member 3974 label Biography information for Claire Perry

	uin	HL2852
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/11/2014 answer text <p>There was general agreement at the workshop that payment differentials was a complex issue and that any changes to the rules would create winners or losers with no clear benefit to vulnerable groups. For example, of households who were fuel poor in England in 2012, around 48% paid for their electricity and 40% paid for their gas through direct debit and around 27% paid for their electricity and 20% paid for their gas through prepayment meters. Changing rules in favour of pre-payment meter customers would make direct debit customers worse-off.</p><p>Ofgem intend to circulate a note from the event to participants within the next week. As part of their ongoing work programme on vulnerability, they are planning a series of workshops to focus on other important issues in the future.</p> answering member printed Baroness Verma question first answered 27/11/2014 12:31:23 answering member 3790 label Biography information for Baroness Verma
