Energy: Meters

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, whether he is aware of Kaifa Technology’s role in the rollout of smart meters in the UK.

Answer

Smart metering infrastructure in Great Britain has been developed in close coordination with industry security experts and the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) to ensure the most robust security controls are in place.

The system includes rigorous safeguards that are resilient to the global nature of supply chains. This includes a requirement that certain key smart metering system security controls are provided and maintained within the UK.

Smart meters require certification under the NCSC’s Commercial Product Assurance Scheme (CPA) prior to being installed by energy suppliers.
