Energy: Ceredigion
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what estimate his Department has made of the number of households in Ceredigion that cannot benefit from smart metering because of inadequate connectivity.
- Answer
-
As many households and small businesses as possible should benefit from smart metering.
The Data Communications Company (DCC), which operates the national communications infrastructure for smart metering, is obligated under its licence to provide coverage to at least 99.25% of premises across Great Britain. The energy regulator Ofgem is responsible for ensuring the DCC complies with its obligations.
The Government does not hold information on network coverage at a constituency level.
