answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/09/2014 answer text <p>Concluding an ambitious and comprehensive EU-US trade deal that benefits UK consumers and business, especially small and medium sized enterprises, is a priority for the Government. Improved access to US exports of energy would form part of a successful Transatlantic Trade &amp; Investment Partnership agreement, helping to diversify the EU’s energy sources, and is therefore an EU priority in the negotiations. Internal EU negotiations on carbon emissions targets are at an advanced stage and involve consideration of the energy profiles of the EU as a whole and of individual EU Member States across the full range of options. These options include the potential role of increased imports of gas, from the US and elsewhere, to help to reduce EU emissions levels in future decades.</p><p>Factors such as the time needed to build new export terminals in the US and costs of liquefaction and transport mean that it is likely to be some years before EU Member States could import US gas in significant quantities. Recent events in Ukraine further underline the need for the EU to diversify its energy sources. Making full use of indigenous energy resources is also important for energy security. Here in the UK, the Government continues to work closely with industry to encourage further investment in domestic energy production, including oil, gas, nuclear and renewables.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency West Suffolk answering member printed Matthew Hancock question first answered 02/09/2014 15:27:44 answering member 4070 label Biography information for Matt Hancock

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/09/2014 answer text <p>At the time of publication of the Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS) consultation document, the Government estimated that ESOS would have a net present value ranging from £900m to £3bn, with a central estimate of £1.9bn, measured over the period 2015-2030. The Final Stage Impact Assessment, published alongside the Government’s Response to the ESOS Consultation, took account of new evidence which led to it revising down the estimated net present value, to between £600m and £2.7bn, with a central estimate of £1.6bn. The reasons for this change are set out on pages 17-19 of the Final Stage Impact Assessment, which can be found at the link below:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/323116/ESOS_Impact_Assessment_FINAL.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/323116/ESOS_Impact_Assessment_FINAL.pdf</a>.</p> answering member constituency Hastings and Rye answering member printed Amber Rudd question first answered 01/09/2014 15:16:07 answering member 3983 label Biography information for Amber Rudd

uin	206721
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/09/2014 answer text <p>The Government recognises that online sources of energy usage information can be useful but does not believe that these can substitute for in-home displays in delivering the benefits of smart meters.</p><p>In home displays allow consumers and their family members to see immediately their current and historic energy use and its cost in near-real time and do not rely on consumers having internet access or smart phones. Current evidence shows higher energy savings from those with a smart meter and IHD compared to those with a smart meter only.</p><p>Energy suppliers are free to offer additional means for their customers to engage with their energy usage, which may be available online and offer different forms of analysis to the IHD. We expect that some consumers will want different information but believe that all should have the information provided by IHDs readily available.</p><p>We will continue to monitor the evidence in this area and emerging technical developments to ensure that our policy remains appropriate.</p> answering member constituency Hastings and Rye answering member printed Amber Rudd question first answered 01/09/2014 10:18:59 answering member 3983 label Biography information for Amber Rudd

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/09/2014 answer text <p>The Department of Energy and Climate Change currently occupies four buildings in London and one in Aberdeen. DECC’s current occupation is in line with the Cabinet Office directives of fewer desks than staff (Full Time Equivalent – FTE) and within 8-10m<sup>2</sup> per FTE (by December 2015).</p><p>The lease in Aberdeen is due to expire in May 2016 and alternative accommodation will be sought with value for money as one of the key objectives.</p><p>London accommodation is being reviewed with a view to reducing the existing four buildings to two in 2015, and therefore reducing the overall cost of the estate. In order to achieve this, alterations will be required to the two remaining buildings. These changes will be in line with the Cabinet Office directives listed above as well as the Civil Service Reform Plan.</p> answering member constituency Hastings and Rye answering member printed Amber Rudd question first answered 01/09/2014 10:17:58 answering member 3983 label Biography information for Amber Rudd
