Energy: Meters
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment his Department has made of the potential merits of delaying the Radio Teleswitch Service switch off.
Answered by Miatta Fahnbulleh
The industry-led Radio Teleswitch Service (RTS) is reaching the end of its operational life and can no longer be adequately maintained.
The switch-off will start from the end of June, and the Government and Ofgem have called on suppliers to rapidly increase the pace of RTS replacements, so that there is a smooth transition and consumers are protected. We continue to closely monitor progress.
