Energy: Meters
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, how many SMETS 2 pre-payment meters have been installed.
- Answer
-
The Smart Metering Equipment Technical Specification (SMETS) requires that all meters are able to switch remotely from credit to pre-payment mode (and vice versa). As of 18 December 2018, industry information showed there were over 220,000 SMETS2 meters connected to the national smart metering communications network.
We expect the number of SMETS2 meters to continue to ramp up as energy suppliers continue their transitions from SMETS1 to SMETS2 meters.
