| 21 Jan 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “If that was to be developed in a way where a consumer did not have to do anything—the tariff is there, the technology is there, and they all talk to each other and all people have to do is give their preferences—who do you think would be best placed to deliver that? Is it the network operators? Is it the Government mak…” | 85 |
| 21 Jan 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “I just wanted to get back to Polly’s point about demand-side flexibility at a consumer level; I am interested in automation because I agree with her that it is too much to ask people to do it themselves in a meaningful way. Do we currently have systems where, if people have an EV solar battery and a tariff, those can t…” | 129 |
| 21 Jan 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “I mean the consumer use of energy. Is it because so much of the percentage is not about the wholesale cost? Have we essentially broken that link between, “Use this much and it will cost that much”?” | 37 |
| 21 Jan 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “That feels like the story of our lives.” | 8 |
| 21 Jan 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “Thank you, that is very helpful. Are there any further comments on that?” | 13 |
| 21 Jan 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “That is notable and something that we could do.” | 9 |
| 21 Jan 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “This is a behind-the-curtain and niche question because I want to talk about the role of electrolysis in demand-side flexibility and hydrogen production through electrolysis specifically. I will come to Jacopo first. Will hydrogen produced through electrolysis have a significant role in demand-side flexibility in Great…” | 49 |

| 21 Jan 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “There is no interoperability standard for energy?” | 7 |
| 21 Jan 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “That is because if you are on a prepayment meter, you do not have any money by definition, but you are paying more.” | 23 |
| 21 Jan 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “From the ordinary British householder’s point of view, when they sign up for their tariff or plug in a heat pump, are we anywhere near them saying, “Count me in” because that is all they have to think about? If we are still relying on people being energy nerds, I do not think we are going to get there. In practical ter…” | 121 |
| 21 Jan 2026 | Warm Homes Plan “I am really pleased to see this warm homes plan, as a warm home for everyone was one of my key election pledges. In my constituency of Morecambe and Lunesdale, Green Rose CIC has been helping people for years with energy efficiency and making their homes warmer. Can the Secretary of State tell me how local experts such…” cost-of-livinghousingenvironment | 72 |
| 21 Jan 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “Does smart-metering affect consumer behaviour?” | 5 |
| 21 Jan 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “Would you indulge me, Chair? My rural constituents have real problems with smart meter; they just do not work. So how can we make sure that smart meters actually work for the whole population, not just in urban centres?” | 39 |
| 21 Jan 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “There are a couple of things I want to raise from a consumer point of view. Sarah, you mentioned the percentage of network costs. Have we lost the link between usage and costs almost entirely? Does that make it more difficult to incentivise?” | 43 |
| 21 Jan 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “If that was to be developed in a way where a consumer did not have to do anything—the tariff is there, the technology is there, and they all talk to each other and all people have to do is give their preferences—who do you think would be best placed to deliver that?

| 21 Jan 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “Very quickly, just to make sure I have understood this correctly, we are talking in this context about interconnectors only being used to import energy; but my understanding is that they can be used to export energy as well. Just to get back to your point about the energy mix, would strengthening our interconnector sys…” | 121 |
