Energy: Meters

Asked by Edward MorelloLiberal DemocratDepartment for Energy Security and Net ZeroTabled Answered 27 May 2025UIN 52978

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether his Department has made an assessment of the potential merits of extending the 30 June 2025 deadline for electricity meter replacements in cases where delays are due to supplier constraints.

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.

There will be a carefully managed phase out of the service starting from 30 June. The Government is working closely with the RTS Taskforce to ensure the phase out process is planned effectively and consumers are appropriately protected.
