The Department of Energy and Climate Change recently
announced a consultation on the way in which smart meters will be
rolled out. We are pleased to see signs of progress on this
matter after a long period of seeming inaction, and will be
responding to the consultation in due course. We shall
be focussing on the need to ensure that this once in a life
time opportunity to take advantage of new technology to provide
real information to consumers, to help them understand and manage
their energy use, is not lost.
In the meantime, Onzo recently responded to consultations
announced in February by DECC. They covered two energy
efficiency initiatives, the Heat and Energy Saving Strategy and the
Community Energy Saving Programme. We welcomed the objectives
of both programmes but expressed the belief that the proposals
lacked a properly organised framework, and recommended four areas
of action including the use of important tools to encourage
behaviour change.
