tabling member constituency	Southampton, Test
tabling member printed	Dr Alan Whitehead
uin	63711
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/02/2017 answer text <p>As with traditional meters, smart meters form part of energy suppliers’ costs of providing electricity and gas to their customers – along with, for example, the wholesale costs of energy and the costs of the pipes and networks that carry the gas and electricity to customers’ premises.</p><p> </p><p>Smart meter costs are passed on to customers over the life of the asset, just as with traditional metering. The Government has put measures in place to prohibit energy suppliers from charging households upfront for the costs of the smart meter and its installation.</p><p> </p><p>Smart meters avoid the costs of manual meter reading, provide accurate bills, and give information that allows consumers to save energy. As a result, across all households energy bills are projected to be £300 million lower in 2020 than they would have been without smart meters. This saving rises to £1.2 billion of bill savings a year in 2030.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 22/02/2017 16:34:44 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
