uin	HL3585
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/12/2014 answer text <p>The Government considered the potential for delivering smart meter rollout and national home efficiency programmes together in the course of developing the smart meter Consumer Engagement Strategy in 2012:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/smart-meter-consumer-engagement-strategy" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/smart-meter-consumer-engagement-strategy</a></p><p><br>The Government recognised that the smart meter installation process provides an opportunity to support other home energy efficiency programmes and it asked suppliers to consider how they can bring together obligations to deliver initiatives such as the Affordable Warmth element of the Energy Company Obligation (ECO) with the smart meter roll-out. In addition, energy suppliers are required to comply with an Installation Code of Practice that requires installers to demonstrate the smart metering system, offer energy efficiency advice, and inform the consumer how they can obtain additional and impartial information or assistance in improving energy efficiency. This includes, for example, generic information about programmes such as the Green Deal and ECO.</p> answering member printed Baroness Verma question first answered 17/12/2014 14:37:29 answering member 3790 label Biography information for Baroness Verma attachment 1 file name 7224-gov-resp-sm-consumer-engagement.pdf title Smart metering: govt response to consultation

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether the following data in relation to smart meters will be made publicly available after the scheme roll out starts in 2015: (1) the average cost charged to consumers for a gas smart meter installation visit, (2) the average cost charged to consumers for an electricity smart meter installation visit, (3) the average cost charged to consumers for a gas smart meter, and (4) the average cost charged to consumers for an electricity smart meter.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/12/2014 answer text <p>Costs will not be charged upfront to consumers for either the installation visit or the smart meter. Industry costs, net of efficiency savings, will be recovered over the lifetime of the equipment via energy tariffs, as is the case now for traditional metering equipment. DECC has already committed to report on the costs and benefits of the roll out and is developing arrangements for this ahead of the main installation phase.</p> answering member printed Baroness Verma question first answered 16/12/2014 16:52:40 answering member 3790 label Biography information for Baroness Verma
