To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, what assessment the Government has made of the potential effect of amending the licence conditions for retailers responsible for implementing smart meters so that they may use normative benchmark comparisons as an alternative to in-home displays on (a) the...
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, what assessment the Government has made of the potential effect of amending the licence conditions for retailers responsible for implementing smart meters so that they may use normative benchmark comparisons as an alternative to in-home displays on (a) the...
The Government has not made an assessment of the potential effect of amending the licence conditions to enable energy suppliers to offer normative benchmark comparisons as an alternative to in-home displays (IHD), due to the lack of UK evidence that such an alternative to the IHD obligation would provide a similar range and level of net benefit. However the smart metering rules are designed to allow for provision of additional engagement tools including benchmark comparisons. These may complement the information provided by the IHD and deliver additional benefits. Some suppliers are already providing benchmarked energy consumption information.
By contrast, GB trials and international experience demonstrate that IHDs are instrumental to energy saving. The recently published findings of the Smart Metering Early Learning Project provide substantial new evidence that it is realistic to expect durable consumer energy savings of 3 per cent provided engagement is effective, and that larger savings are feasible in the future.

For the first part of this question, I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave her on 12th March to Question 226662:
DECC do not have data on average actual bills for the fuel poor, or any particular cut of them, as fuel poverty estimates are produced on a notional basis (what the bill would be for a household if they used sufficient energy to meet the heating requirement for the home they live in). A large volume of data on fuel poverty is available on the DECC web site at: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/fuel-poverty-statistics.

Data on fuel poverty is published annually at:

DECC do not collect or hold data at this level of disaggregation.
From DECC’s domestic meter point data, there were 77,000 domestic standard electricity meters and an additional 10,000 economy 7 meters in the York Unitary Authority in 2013. Data is not published for the York Central constituency:
https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/sub-national-electricity-consumption-data
DECC estimate that 17% of standard electricity customers in Yorkshire, used prepayment meters in the latest quarter. This data is only available at the public electricity supply (PES) region level. Data is not available for the York central constituency or the York Unitary Authority Area:

The Smart Metering Programme is making good progress. Consumers are already benefiting from smart meters, through accurate bills and helping them to understand their energy use to reduce consumption and save money.
Details of some key developments since December 2013 are set out in the Government’s ‘Third Annual Report on the Roll-out of Smart Meters’, published on 11 December 2014:
In March 2015 DECC published research showing that consumers’ experience of the early rollout has been very positive: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/smart-metering-early-learning-project-and-small-scale-behaviour-trials:
82% of customers did not have any concerns about smart metering
72% were satisfied with their smart meter and In Home Display overall. Only 4% were dissatisfied
89% were satisfied with the installation process.
Details of the number of smart meters installed in Great Britain are set out in the Government’s ‘Smart Meters, Great Britain, Quarterly report to end September 2014’, published on 18 December 2014:
Over 1 million meters are operating under the Programme, which covers Great Britain. Northern Ireland is undertaking a separate roll-out programme.
Currently, data is published only at Great Britain level. Data is not collected from energy suppliers in a format that allows parliamentary constituency data to be produced.
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, how many prepayment meter customers are in arrears for (a) electricity and (b) gas in (i) the UK, (ii) Scotland, (iii) England and (iv) Wales in each year from May 2010 up to the most recent period for which...

The Department does not hold information on how many prepayment customers are in arrears with their electricity and/or gas supply company.
Ofgem closely monitors domestic energy suppliers’ performance and publishes information in relation to debt owed by domestic customers for their electricity and gas supplies in its Social Obligations Annual Reports:

The Department does not hold information on the average amount of outstanding prepayment meter debt.
Ofgem closely monitors domestic energy suppliers’ performance and publishes information in relation to debt, but they do not publish data showing the average amount of outstanding debt by payment method such as prepayment meters, or by customers living in Scotland, England or Wales. Ofgem does not monitor the gas and electricity supply market in Northern Ireland as it is a devolved matter.

Data on methods of payment for domestic energy consumers are published in Quarterly Energy Prices, tables 2.4.2 and 2.5.2.
This is available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/quarterly-domestic-energy-price-stastics .
The tables below show the proportion of customers on pre-payment for each year since 2010. Data is only available at the Public Electricity Supply (PES) region level of geography. As Merseyside and North Wales is a PES region we cannot separately calculate totals for England and Wales. Gas is not yet widely available in Northern Ireland; therefore this data has been excluded from the gas table.

Data for 2014 is provisional as Q4 2014 data is not yet available, so percentages published are based on data from the first three quarters of the year.
DECC estimate that there are just over 27 million households in the UK that consume electricity, based on meter point counts, suggesting that in 2014 there were around 4½ million households using pre-payment meters.
DECC estimate that there are just over 23 million households in Great Britain that consume gas, based on meter point counts. This suggests that in 2014 there were around 3½ million households using pre-payment meters.
