To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what information her Department holds on the number of households that have been involuntarily fitted with pre-payment meters following (a) smart meter installation and (b) remote switching.

The Government does not hold this data. The Government has always been clear on the importance of protecting energy consumers, particularly the most vulnerable. It is a matter for Ofgem as the regulator to determine when suppliers are able to restart PPM installations, in line with the conditions for restart they set out in April last year. We will continue to monitor the situation closely as installations resume to ensure Ofgem’s tough new rules are followed and lead to improved protections for consumers.
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, if she will make an assessment of the potential impact of the consistency of the (a) distribution of installed SMET2 meters and (b) level of wide area network coverage on the implementation of the smart energy savings competition.
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, if she will make an assessment of the potential impact of the consistency of the (a) distribution of installed SMET2 meters and (b) level of wide area network coverage on the implementation of the smart energy savings competition.
The Smart Energy Savings (SENS) Competition was launched in 2019 and concluded in 2022. To participate, consumers needed an enrolled SMETS1 or SMETS2 meter and Wide Area Network (WAN) coverage, amongst other requirements. Interviews conducted with participants included those with different demographics and household characteristics, such as householder age, property age and income.
The competition was successful in identifying positive evidence on household energy savings from smart meter data. The results can be viewed here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/smart-energy-savings-sens-competition-evaluation.
