Energy: Meters

Asked by David MundellConservativeDepartment for Energy Security and Net ZeroTabled Answered 11 March 2025UIN 34804

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, how many households in Dumfriesshire, Clydesdale and Tweeddale constituency remain dependent on the Radio Teleswitch Service for their energy meter connections.

Answered by Miatta Fahnbulleh

The Department does not hold constituency level data on remaining RTS meters, but we are regularly engaging with energy suppliers, Ofgem and the industry body Energy UK to review local plans for the switch-off.

Energy suppliers have contacted all premises with RTS meters and Ofgem is encouraging customers to book an appointment to ensure they are provided with a replacement meter ahead of the switch-off.
