Question

Asked by

Lord Taylor of Holbeach

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether home energy advice packages under the draft Electricity and Gas (Carbon Emissions Reduction) (Amendment) Order 2009 will cover the building concerned rather than the number of occupants and their circumstances. [HL329]

The Minister of State, Department of Energy and Climate Change
(Lord Hunt of Kings Heath)

Schedule A1 to the Electricity and Gas (Carbon Emissions Reduction) (Amendment) Order 2009 requires that a package must consist of a home energy survey, home energy assistance and a written home energy report. The survey covers the building but takes account of the number of occupants.

Energy suppliers who wish to deliver home energy advice packages are required to have schemes approved in advance of delivery by the regulator, Ofgem.
