(asked on 24th March 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, what assessment he has made of the likelihood of every home having a smart meter by 2020; and if he will make a statement.
This question was answered on 29th March 2017
The Government is committed to ensuring that every home and small business in the country is offered a smart meter the end of 2020.
Energy suppliers’ licence conditions require them to take ‘all reasonable steps’ to roll-out smart meters to all their domestic and non-domestic customers by 31 December 2020. Ofgem is responsible for regulating energy suppliers against that obligation.
