This consultation followed publication of the Energy White Paper last year. Government has taken decisions in key areas and will:
  • require historical consumption data to be provided on all domestic customers' electricity and gas bills and statements;
  • request electricity suppliers to provide on a voluntary basis real-time display devices to particular customer segments, but will not pursue proposals for provision of such devices when a meter is replaced or newly-installed or for provision 'on-request';
  • require electricity and gas suppliers to provide smart meters to all business customers above a certain usage threshold by 2013 (section 4); and
  • to complete further economic assessment work and consultation to finalise policy position in respect of smart metering for small businesses and domestic consumers.
