The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, if he will make an estimate of the number of households that are not on the smart meter network in (a) South Holland and the Deepings constituency and (b) Lincolnshire.

Answered by Martin McCluskey

The Department does not hold statistics on smart meter penetration on a constituency level.

The latest statistics to include the percentage of domestic electricity smart meters by local authority are available here: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/smart-meters-in-great-britain-quarterly-update-march-2025.
