Smart Export Guarantee
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps he is taking to reduce barriers faced by households seeking to export surplus renewable electricity to the grid.
- Answer
-
The Government recognises the importance of enabling households to export surplus renewable electricity to the grid, in part to ensure that they can realise value from their investments. The Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) is a government scheme which gives small-scale generators the right to be paid for the electricity they export to the grid.
The Government has recently committed to consult on changes to make it quicker and simpler for generators to be paid for the electricity they export to the grid.
