Energy suppliers are required to offer their domestic customers an In Home Display (IHD) for no upfront charge. Our latest Impact Assessment published in January 2014 estimates that IHDs will cost energy suppliers £15 per display.

GB trials and international experience demonstrate that real time feedback from In Home Displays are instrumental to energy savings.
