Monitors
to cut home electricity use
Monitors which show the real-time cost of
electricity use are to be provided free of charge to homes across the UK in
an effort to slow down climate change. Under the new government proposals,
from next year electricity suppliers will have to provide the devices – which
have cut power use by up to 6.5% in Canada – to all customers who want them. Domestic
appliances which are left on unnecessarily are estimated to wast £900 million
of electricity a year.
Traditional electricity meters are usually kept
out of sight in cupboards. However, the monitors, which use microchip technology
and a digital display, are intended to be placed in full view as a constant
reminder of the electricity that is being used in a house at any given moment.
The Environment Secretary said: “People want to
do their bit to help protect the environment as well as save money, and
visual display units that are provided free of charge will help people do
both”. A spokeswoman for the Electricity Consumer Council said it supported
any plan that would give customers access to free monitors. The shadow
environment secretary said: “Although it is an interesting and welcome
measure, there are still many details that should be considered, not least
the reliability of these meters”.
However, the Energy Retail Council has criticised
the proposal, saying that it did not go far enough. In a statement, their
chief executive said: “We had hoped the government would recommend the
introduction of Smart meters – which communicate electricity consumption to
both the customer and the energy supplier – rather tan meters that are only
able to do half the job”.
