Smart Export Guarantee
The question
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.
Answered by Michael Shanks
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.
