Energy: Meters

(asked on 22nd November 2017) - View Source

Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, how many homes and small businesses have been offered a smart meter as part of the smart meter roll-out programme.


This question was answered on 27th November 2017

We are unable to provide statistics on the number of homes and small businesses that have been offered a smart meter as the Department does not hold this information.

The programme gathers information on the number of smart meters installed and operated by energy suppliers. As of 30 June 2017, there were over 7.68 million smart and advanced meters operating across homes and businesses in Great Britain, by both large and small energy suppliers.

The regulatory obligation on suppliers, as set out in their licence, is for them to take all reasonable steps to install smart meters in all homes and small businesses by the end of 2020.
