Landlords can receive payments for surplus energy exported to the grid. We believe these payments should benefit the household. Giving tenants the export income, or an equivalent energy bill credit, could help reduce household costs. This could particularly help people in social and affordable housing, ensuring renewable energy reduces bills for those who need the savings most.","committee_note":"","state":"open","signature_count":10,"closing_date":"2027-03-14","created_at":"2026-08-16T12:48:24.414Z","updated_at":"2026-09-14T16:34:10.000Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2026-09-14T10:03:39.894Z","closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-08-16T17:30:10.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":"Simon Venn","rejection":null,"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[{"acronym":"MHCLG","name":"Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government","url":"https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/ministry-of-housing-communities-local-government"}],"topics":[],"signatures_by_country":[{"name":"United Kingdom","code":"GB","signature_count":10}],"signatures_by_constituency":[{"name":"Bournemouth West","ons_code":"E14001116","mp":"Jessica Toale MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Bridgwater","ons_code":"E14001126","mp":"Sir Ashley Fox MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Derby South","ons_code":"E14001194","mp":"Baggy Shanker MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Didcot and Wantage","ons_code":"E14001197","mp":"Olly Glover MP","signature_count":2},{"name":"Earley and Woodley","ons_code":"E14001210","mp":"Yuan Yang MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"East Wiltshire","ons_code":"E14001217","mp":"Danny Kruger MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Oxford East","ons_code":"E14001419","mp":"Rt Hon Anneliese Dodds MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Witney","ons_code":"E14001591","mp":"Charlie Maynard MP","signature_count":2}],"signatures_by_region":[{"name":"East Midlands","ons_code":"E","signature_count":1},{"name":"South East","ons_code":"J","signature_count":6},{"name":"South West","ons_code":"K","signature_count":3}],"other_parliamentary_business":[]}}}
