Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, if she will make it her policy to require the provision to energy consumers of a breakdown of their energy consumption compared with similarly sized households or businesses.

Following DECC research into the optimal display of consumption comparisons for domestic consumers, Energy UK agreed to take forward work on a consumption comparison webtool, as part of a voluntary agreement between Government and energy suppliers. This enables consumers to input their own details and see how their consumption compares to similar households and is available online at: www.comparemyenergy.org.uk/
