Energy: Meters
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change what steps his Department is taking to assess (a) wireless, (b) cellular and (c) other options for the installation and subsequent operation of smart meters.
- Answer
-
Our requirements for communication services to and from Smart Meters are technology neutral and we will assess the relative merits of the solutions that bidders propose through the procurement processes. We expect proposals based on a range of communications technologies and will evaluate the trade-offs between coverage, cost and scalability in order to determine the most advantageous overall solution.
