Asked by:

The Government has mandated energy suppliers to have completed the rollout of smart meters to all domestic and smaller non-domestic premises by the end of 2020. Energy suppliers are undertaking site surveys and analysing installations completed during the current Foundation stage of the Programme to determine the most effective solutions to reach all premises. As part of the Smart Meter Implementation Programme governance arrangements, an Operational Delivery Group is identifying and agreeing common approaches to installations as a means of ensuring a consistently good consumer experience across the rollout.
