During committee stage of the Energy Bill the Government had set its face against Smart Meters, but Government amendments tabled recently confirm the U-turn. John and other colleagues had pressed Ministers to bring in this new technology.
John said: “Smart meters would help to save money and the environment by making clear in real-time the cost of energy use. They would bring an end to estimated billing, so families are no longer caught out thinking they are using less energy than they really are.”Smart Meters are designed to give more information about energy consumption and efficiency and to help householders take advantage of special off-peak rates.
