PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(24 April 2025)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, if he will make an estimate of the potential impact of the smart export guarantee on annual costs to consumers in each year since 2020.

Asked by:
Claire Coutinho (Conservative)

Answer

The Smart Export Guarantee is a market-driven mechanism that captures the value of small-scale exported electricity and helps meet net zero commitments at the lowest net cost to consumers and businesses.

This means that SEG tariffs are set by energy suppliers and the SEG is not expected to lead to a direct cost on consumer bills.
