Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) Distribution has become the first Distribution Network Operator (DNO) to publish its smart meter half-hourly consumption datasets.
Energy suppliers British Gas, OVO, Bulb, E.ON, Scottish Power and SSE have been ordered to pay a combined £10.8 million after missing the smart meter installation target in 2022.
Energy data transfer regulator ElectraLink said the final figure for smart meter installations in 2022 reached 2.37 million – slightly lower than the 2.42 million reported in 2021.
Cornwall Insight has argued in its latest research paper that smart meters are set to play a vitally important role in securing energy security in the UK.
