Energy: Meters

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, how many Radio Teleswitch Service meters are left to be switched off in (a) Shropshire and (b) North Shropshire constituency.

Answered by Michael Shanks

The Department does not hold constituency or county level data on RTS meters. Ofgem data shows that as of 30 May, 314,935 RTS meters remain in premises in Great Britain.

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 as soon as possible.
