Energy: Meters
(asked on 2nd November 2015) - View Source
Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, what the estimated cost per household will be to suppliers of having to issue an in-home display as part of the smart meter home display.
This question was answered on 10th November 2015
Energy suppliers are required to offer their domestic customers an In Home Display (IHD) for no upfront charge. Our latest Impact Assessment published in January 2014 estimates that IHDs will cost energy suppliers £15 per display.
GB trials and international experience demonstrate that real time feedback from In Home Displays are instrumental to energy savings.
