To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, what assessment her Department has made of the potential merits of introducing net metering; and if she will make a statement.

Andrea Leadsom

We have not made a specific assessment of the impact which introducing net metering could have on the UK energy system. However, we are currently consulting on the future of the feed-in tariff and will consider all stakeholder views, including any representations on net metering, as part of the government response. The consultation closes on 23rd October 2015.
