Every home in the UK must be fitted with a “smart meter” by 2020 to reduce energy use and pave the way for a low-carbon “smart grid”, under plans unveiled by the government today.

 The new meters will send information on real-time electricity and gas use in households and small businesses direct to utility companies, eliminating the need for customers to stay at home for meter readings or to receive over-estimated bills. However, consumers are likely to pick up some of the costs of the compulsory, nationwide scheme.

 The government estimates putting smart meters in the country’s 26m homes could save customers and energy companies £2.5bn-£3.6bn over the next 20 years, but says it will cost more than double this to buy and install the equipment.

 Launching a consultation on how the smart meters should be rolled out, the Department for Energy and Climate Change (DECC) claimed the scheme will be the biggest smart meter project in the world.

 ”The meters most of us have in our homes were designed for a different age, before climate change,” said Ed Miliband, the energy and climate change secretary. “Now we need to get smarter with our energy … so it’s important we design a system that brings best value to everyone involved.”

 Energy companies welcomed the switch, which will reduce their running costs by making meter readers obsolete and eliminating the customer service time spent on dealing with estimated bills. Consumers and small business owners could benefit from savings achieved through increased awareness of their energy use. Previous studies have shown that smart meters encourage homeowners to cut their energy use by 3-15%, although experts warn that the technology requires consumer education and is not an “install and forget” energy-efficiency measure like loft insulation.

 Consumer groups warned that homeowners should not have to shoulder heavy costs for the new meters. Replacing today’s meters by the end of 2020 is expected to cost £8.11bn under the government’s preferred plan, with utility companies paying upfront, but able to pass on the charge. “Bill-payers have been suffering for many years from ever-increasing bills, so I hope the cost of the scheme – up to £340 for every household – won’t wholly be put at their feet,” said Scott Byrom, utilities manager at Moneysupermarket.com.

 The Energy Retail Association – which represents the major electricity and gas companies – said that smart meters will be “cost-neutral” to customers because the savings to its members will part-fund the roll out.

 Smart meters will also play a key role in helping the government meet its greenhouse gas reduction targets of at least 34% by 2020. The meters make it easier for householders to sell power they generate through wind and solar back to the grid. They will also allow suppliers to smooth the peaks and troughs of UK electricity demand by offering cheaper electricity at times of low demand, and increasing the price when demand is high. Reducing peak demand means fewer power stations need to be on standby, thereby cutting carbon emissions.

 Ultimately, smart meters will allow the electricity used by domestic appliances to be “dynamically” managed. This would mean switching off refrigerators for a few minutes at times of high demand, or using plugged-in electric vehicles to store power. This flexibility is crucial if a significant amount of clean, renewable energy is to be supplied from harnessing the sun, wind and waves, all of which vary with the weather. A government report last year suggested such “demand management” technology could save 2m tonnes of CO₂ a year.

 Environmental campaigners and opposition politicians warned that the 2020 timetable was not fast enough. The shadow energy and climate change secretary, Greg Clark, said: “In other countries around the world, smart meters are being rolled out now. Ten years [to install] a technology that’s already available seems very leisurely considering the urgency of climate change.” However, consultants Ernst & Young noted that even fitting 2.6m homes with meters every until 2020 was “challenging”.

 Three plans are under consideration for the natiowide roll-out of smart meters. The first sees utilities take on all responsibilities, including supply and installation, plus the data management. The second – the government’s preferred model – has energy suppliers responsible for the meters, but with a new third party body handling the energy data. A third scenario envisages setting up a new organisation to oversee both the meters and data management.

 Smart meter trials are already under way around the country through energy companies including British Gas and Npower, and smaller suppliers such as First Utility already supply smart meters as standard. The first smart meters installed under the government’s new plans are expected to arrive in 2012.

Nottingham is bucking the trend for generating its own energy after Government figures show that the city is generating 4% of its own energy from renewables and waste.

In 2006 Nottingham generated almost 14% of its own heat and power, of this around 4% was from renewables and waste. This makes Nottingham by far the most energy self-sufficient city in the UK.

These figures have only recently come to light, as published government figures for local energy generation from renewables and waste did not account for the heat and power generated and supplied locally from the district heating network and private wire power supply. The published figures assumed incorrectly that all the energy generated from the Eastcroft incinerator was used inefficiently to generate electricity and just sold to the national grid.

The Nottingham Energy Partnership noticed the astounding lead that Nottingham has on other UK cities while researching data to inform the developing Nottingham sustainable energy strategy.

According to government statistics, the second most energy self sufficient city, Coventry, generated just 0.74% of its own energy from renewables and waste in 2006. In 2008, the UK as a whole generated 2.7% of non-transport energy from renewables and waste.

The renewables figures have been confirmed by the consultants who compiled the data for the Department for Energy and Climate Change. While 4% does not sound a great deal, it puts Nottingham streets ahead of the rest of the UK in terms of renewable energy.

Councillor Katrina Bull, Portfolio Holder for Environment and Climate Change at Nottingham City Council, said: “Nottingham is leading the UK in a number of key energy areas, particularly through the work of the City Council, the Nottingham Energy Partnership (NEP) and Enviro-Energy, the city district heating operator.

“Nottingham’s energy self sufficiency puts the city in a remarkably good position – we are starting from an excellent position, helped by the largest district heating scheme in the country which provides low cost, low carbon heat to St Ann’s and parts of Sneinton. Imagine the potential for increasing this resilience through adding further district heating schemes and using other renewable technology to provide low cost, stable energy to Nottingham residents and businesses. As we face years ahead of steep energy price hikes, and certainly an end to cheap energy – we as a city must invest further in generating local, cheap, low carbon energy to further protect our city’s residents and businesses.

“The City Council and NEP are delivering and supporting several groundbreaking projects in the city. These projects are at the forefront of the UKs transition to a low carbon economy; particularly The Nottingham Warm Zone, partnership with Scottish and Southern Energy, providing energy efficiency measures to all private households.

“We are starting the race to the low carbon economy from the front. This also means we have the responsibility to demonstrate to the rest of the UK that the hard targets required to avoid dangerous climate change, are achievable and beneficial to Nottingham’s economy.”

Throughout 2006 the city generated over 190 Gigawatt hours (GWh) of heat and power from renewables and waste. The majority of this was distributed to homes and businesses through Enviroenergy, the City Council owned heat and power network. The rest of the city’s home grown energy, around 563GWh, was generated from super efficient gas Combined Heat and Power (CHP)

The City’s CHP plants are owned by a number of Nottingham’s largest organisations including the district heating network operator Enviroenergy, Alliance Boots and the Queens Medical Centre.

While gas CHP burns natural gas, which is a fossil fuel, it generates electricity in a far more efficient and low carbon manner than large coal fired power stations like Ratcliffe on Soar. The power is generated close to where it is needed, so that there are not the losses associated with transmitting the power long distances. The waste heat generated is used to heat businesses and homes, rather than simply disposed off into the atmosphere via cooling towers.

As well as Nottingham generating more of its own energy than any other UK city, from 2003-2007 domestic gas consumption in the city fell by 16%; the largest fall of any local authority in the East Midlands and largest of all the core cities. This significant demand reduction has been achieved through the work of NEP and local housing associations working on domestic energy efficiency over the last few years. This also puts Nottingham in the top 8% of local authorities in the UK for domestic energy efficiency.

The impact is that businesses and homes on the heat and power network are, to a large extent, insulated against rising gas and power prices, while also benefiting from a low carbon footprint. This includes the Victoria and Broadmarsh centres, the Tax Office, Capital One, The Royal Centre, Nottingham Trent University and 4,600 homes in St Ann’s. The private wire power network also protects local electricity users such as EMDA and the ice rink from power cuts.

In December last year Nottingham was the first UK local authority to adopt a motion recognising peak oil as an important policy driver. Nottingham’s high level of locally generated energy will ensure that as global energy costs rise Nottingham will be one of the cities best adapted to make the transition to a post peak oil world.

The national Low Carbon Transition and Renewable Energy Strategies launched in 2009 however leave the city with no room for complacency. While already leading the UK, achieving the national targets for renewable energy may require doubling the size of the heat and power network over the next 10 years, as well as rapidly expanding other city renewable energy technologies such as solar water heating, photovoltaics and biomass. This represents nothing short of a low carbon revolution over the next decade

As if being a recycling center wasn’t enough to build up its ecological credibility.

The Wasatch Integrated Waste Management District broke ground this week on a new building at the Layton landfill that will be powered by solar, wind and methane-gas energy and be a recycled-steel structure.

The facility will be built with adjacent solar panels and a windmill, and include a pipeline to the landfill where methane is collected from the rotting garbage, said the district’s executive director, Nathan Rich.

“I think it’s part of this focus on recycling and sustainability,” he said of the building’s multiple environmentally friendly facets.

Much of the impetus on building the $1.1 million facility was to turn recycling from an expense for the landfill into something that could generate money.

Currently, and until the new recycling center is running in April 2010, individuals drive to the landfill, dumping and mixing their recyclables into the same bins.

Wasatch Integrated then pays to have the glass, plastic, paper, cardboard and aluminum hauled away to a sorting facility that then sells the goods, Rich said.

With the new center, people will be asked to sort their items and place them into distinct chutes. Then, “with a little bit of effort on our part to do some quality control,” he said, the center will produce cleaned items that can be resold directly from the landfill.

“Right now, we’re projecting within one to two years, this facility will at least be a break-even operation,” Rich said, noting the district has been saving for the project for the past few years and won’t need to increase any fees to pay for it — “We’re pleased about that.”

This new recycling center, though, isn’t meant to compete against private businesses or multiple cities’ efforts to provide curbside recycling, said Rich and Davis County Commissioner John Petroff.

“We’re not trying to replace the recycling programs that some of the cities have started,” said Petroff, who chairs the district’s administrative board.

The waste district is used by all Davis County cities except Bountiful, which has its own dump.

Woods Cross and Bountiful have mandatory curbside recycling programs; Centerville, Farmington and North Salt Lake have optional curbside programs in the works.

“We had a long discussion about whether we were building something that was going to become obsolete,” Rich said of the possibility that more cities adopt curbside programs. But he said the new facility will still be used by commercial sectors that don’t have access to residential recycling and people who have a lot to recycle.

Plus, there are people who don’t want to haul recyclables to the dump.

“I think you have to have multiple recycling opportunities,” Rich said.

Also, the new recycling center doesn’t have the capacity to handle the whole district’s recycling, Rich said, and will probably only extend the landfill’s lifespan by about one year. At maximum capacity, the new facility will be able to handle up to 4,000 tons of recyclables a year.

Each year, about 144,000 tons of garbage are buried in the landfill; some of that could be recycled, but Rich said there are no exact numbers. Roughly 129,000 tons of trash bypass being dumped each year and are instead sent to a burn plant to create energy, which is sold to nearby Hill Air Force Base.

As many cities have explored creating their own curbside recycling programs, public leaders have expressed concern that their recycling efforts would reduce the amount of refuse available for the burn plant.

The waste-to-energy plant isn’t large enough to handle all of the waste in the landfill, Rich said, and any recycling would simply reduce the waste in the landfill.

“With those numbers,” Rich said regarding the tons of garbage at the landfill, “even if curbside recycling makes it districtwide, I don’t think we’ll have any problems.”

Rich added that waste-to-energy is a good system for many items, like greasy pizza boxes, that are too contaminated to be recycled.

“We should recycle everything we can,” Rich said, “from an environmental perspective and from a waste-management perspective.”

Householders fed up with costs or service from the big six energy suppliers might want to switch to a smaller rival, as the cheapest energy tariffs on the market now come from two of the tiniest players.

Just in time for winter, First Utility and newcomer OVO Energy have both launched online tariffs that undercut the bigger players’ equivalent energy plans by up to £60 a year (based on typical household consumption).

First Utility, which had previously only been offering two-year contracts tied to a Smart Meter, has brought out iSave, a tariff that makes it the cheapest supplier in the UK. The average household bill on iSave comes out at £967 a year, compared to the UK typical average – offline – bill of £1,243 a year.

The tariff is dual fuel, which means you have to take out both gas and electricity but without a contract, so you can switch at any time. There are further cost-saving incentives: after 12 months of direct debit payments you get an annual 12.5% dual fuel discount and you also receive a £5 credit each quarter provided you give First Utility at least one gas and electricity meter reading in that time.

First Utility started the year by offering its unique Smart Meter tariff to households across the country. Smart meters – which the government plans to install in all properties by 2020 – take accurate digital readings of energy usage. Unlike conventional meters, First Utility’s meters measure electricity usage every 30 minutes (daily for gas) and you only pay for what you use.

The company could not keep up with demand, though, and last month decided to limit its Smart Meter tariff to customers in the Midlands. In this area, customers won’t be able to sign up to iSave.

“The idea is that smart meters will be rolled out nationally in the new year, starting where the concentration of iSave customers is greatest,” says Darren Braham, financial director at First Utility.

The Smart Meter tariff prices are the same as iSave, but in theory bills should end up cheaper because households with a smart meter are more likely to use their gas and electricity more conservatively. So those in the Midlands would still do well to sign up to First Utility Smart Meter tariff, though they will be tied into a two-year contract with a £50 early exit penalty.

The tariff from newcomer OVO Energy is only a couple of pounds more a year on average than First Utility’s but is a fixed price deal, meaning the price you pay per month stays the same regardless of fluctuating energy prices. If you leave within the first 12 months you must pay a £60 exit fee (£30 per fuel).

The general expectation is that energy prices will fall before the end of the year, meaning OVO customers could miss out. “The last time wholesale energy prices were this low was back in March 2007, but the standard rates that customers pay were 20% lower, so we should soon see prices come down,” says Joe Malinowski of theenergyshop.com.

However, last week regulator Ofgem warned that prices are likely to rise further next year, and Ashton Berkhauer, head of home services at uswitch.com, points out that the OVO tariff does give customers certainty. “You know what you are paying for the year,” he says.

The tariff will also appeal to more eco-aware households as 15% of the energy comes from renewable sources. For those particularly concerned about this aspect of their supply, OVO offers a 100% green electricity tariff at a slightly higher cost.

OVO is a new player in the market, and some new, smaller players in the energy market have come to a sticky end in the past couple of years. However, Berkhauer says this shouldn’t put people off.

“You will never get cut off if a supplier goes under,” he says. “Your supply is automatically taken over by British Gas for gas and the incumbent supplier for your area for electricity [such as Scottish Power in Edinburgh, for example].”

The other good deal on the market is Go Direct from Scottish & Southern, so named because it is only available through S&S and not through price comparison websites.

Again, the tariff is an online dual fuel plan and, although prices are higher than First Utility and OVO Energy, until 18 October the company is offering a £40 joining bonus – around the amount they would have paid a switching site in commission. This brings the cost down to almost exactly the same as First Utility and OVO but the deal is only worth signing up to before the £40 sweetener is taken away.

The government has unveiled plans for every home in Britain to be equipped with smart meters by the end of 2020.

Smart meters allow suppliers to remotely record customers’ gas and electricity use, and let consumers see how much energy they are using.

Some 26 million electricity and 22 million gas meters will need to be fitted at a cost of £7bn.

Smart meters end the need to dispatch meter readers, meaning huge savings for energy firms who hope bills will fall.

It is also hoped that smart meters will mean an end to estimated bills and call centre staff who deal with related complaints.

British Gas said the move would reduce the UK’s energy use, cut carbon emissions and save customers money.

Cost savings

Energy providers will have the responsibility to fit the meters in what amounts to the biggest programme of work since British Gas converted appliances in 17 million homes to natural gas back in the 1970s.

Industry sources say that the £7bn cost amounts to around £15 per household per year between 2010 and 2020.

But £10 of that will be accounted for in cost savings by the suppliers. That leaves the customer picking up the other £5.

But the average consumer is also likely to save 2% to 3% off their energy use each year, and thus cut £25 to £35 off their bills.

So overall, households could be better off to the tune of more than £20 a year.

The government believes we could all save around 2% of our energy use. That would cut £100m from our bills by 2020. It could also reduce our C02 emissions by 2.6m tonnes.

A new industry-backed Central Communications body will be established to handle all the meter reading data.

‘Benefits‘

One of the smaller energy companies, First Utility, has already installed smart meters in the homes of its 10,000 customers.

The firm’s chief executive Mark Daeche says the lower running costs allow the company to offer competitive prices.

“Of course it is a benefit to us,” he said.

“We can provide lower prices as we don’t have the overheads of supporting a customer with lots of customer service.”

Lloyd Matthews and his wife Susanna live in East London. They are EDF Energy customers and they have been using a smart meter for the past two years.

The meter comes with a display unit that shows Mr Matthews exactly how much electricity and gas he is using. He can also compare his energy use on a daily, weekly or monthly basis.

Mr Matthews says that knowledge has enabled him to reduce his energy bills without hampering his lifestyle

“I’ve managed to save about a tenth, both on energy and gas since having the smart meter, because its made me conscious of the energy I’m using,” he said.

The government is to launch a three-month consultation process on the plans.

How does Smart Metering work?

Smart Meters are at the forefront of electricity, gas and water metering; recording “register reads” and collecting usage consumption profiles at regular intervals (this can be half hourly, hourly or daily). This data is then stored and transmitted using SMS mobile phone technology, the data is collected automatically requiring no human intervention (reduces human error), then checked and verified and sent to your supplier to generate an accurate utility bill.

Smart Meters are available for new and existing fiscal and sub metering.

How much will it cost?

Smart Meters are available for purchase or rental via ENER-G.

Purchasing option

Our purchasing option allows you to own the Smart Meter. An annual data management fee is payable to ENER-G for the provision of data and online access.

Obtaining energy from waste is now an integral part of solving waste problems and a significant source of green energy. ENER·G specialise in a range of energy from waste technologies, which all operate successfully on a commercial basis helping local authorities to meet their waste management obligations.

Our solutions include:

• energy from waste plants, using state-of-the-art gasification technology
• landfill gas generation technology
• digester gas generation technology

Our gasification technology provides a much needed local cost-effective solution that displaces the need for fossil fuels and produces low-cost heat and electricity. The plant converts municipal solid waste (MSW), residual MSW into ‘green’ electricity and/or heat with a proven track record of 7 operating plants across Europe.

Landfill sites as a result of the waste degradation process produce a gas, rich in methane that can be profitable harnessed and utilised in a biogas generation facility. This ENER·G’s landfill gas generation technology is widely spread across Europe.
