Energy: Meters

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, with reference to the Answer of 20 April 2017 to Question 70619, on energy meters, what level of allowance has been made for the plan to enroll and adopt SMETS1 meters into the Data and Communications Company.

Answer

We do not have access to the detailed energy supplier information on these specific installs that would enable us to calculate the cost of this particular set of smart meters.

Work is underway to allow SMETS1 meters to be enrolled into the Data and Communications Company. Once this is complete, smart meters that are currently operating in traditional mode will become fully interoperable with all energy suppliers, and therefore able to operate again in smart mode.
