Energy: Meters
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps his Department is taking to help prepare households for the closure of the radio teleswitch service in June 2025.
Answered by Miatta Fahnbulleh
The Radio Teleswitch Service (RTS) is an industry-led initiative, with the switch-off being overseen by the energy industry, Energy UK and Ofgem. I recently met with Ofgem and Energy UK to discuss plans for the switch-off. I will continue to meet them regularly to track progress.
Ofgem and Industry have convened a Taskforce involving energy suppliers, network operators, consumers groups and the Government, to coordinate activities to rapidly increase the pace of RTS replacements. A new campaign has launched highlighting the need for RTS customers to book a meter replacement as soon as their energy supplier contacts them.
