Proceeding contribution from Lord Teverson (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 1 July 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Energy Bill.

Energy Bill

Page 286 of the Minister’s own White Paper has a marginal abatement cost curve, which specifically points out real-time displays in households. I presume that they are smart meters. I cannot show it here, but abatement costs are below the line: the Government declare it to be a positive return in this paper, whereas offshore wind is hugely more expensive per ton of carbon. Again, however, this is all against the energy crisis of a year ago—but from what I can see of it, the Government have already argued our case.
