Radio Teleswitching Service (RTS) is an industry-run service. Discussions are ongoing between industry parties and RTS providers to secure its operation into 2025, beyond the end of the current contractual period ending March 2024.

The Government expects energy suppliers to upgrade households with RTS to smart meters in good time in advance of the switch off. Households should contact their energy supplier to arrange their upgrades as soon as possible so they can continue to benefit from multi rate tariffs.
