Written ministerial statement by Edward Davey on the first DECC annual progress report on the roll out of smart meters
DECC, UK: Smart meters have the potential to transform consumers’ relationship with energy bringing considerable benefits for both them and the energy industry. Smart meters will for the first time put consumers, who are at the heart of the roll-out, in control of their energy use, allowing them to adopt energy efficiency measures that can help save money on their energy bills, offset price increases and reduce carbon emissions. The annual report provides an introduction to smart metering and its benefits to consumers, the energy industry and Great Britain as a whole.
