The latest data from the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) has revealed that 67% of all electricity meters in Britain are smart or advanced meters.
The Data Communications Company (DCC) has announced that the UK’s smart meter network has hit a new milestone, with 20 million second-generation (SMETS2) smart meters now installed across the country.
The latest data from ElectraLink has revealed that UK-wide smart meter installations have had a surprising rise in July, with 30,000 more meters installed than the previous month.
The UK government has published Q2 2023 figures on the smart meter rollout showing that 58% of meters in Great Britain are now smart or advanced meters.
A new Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) report has dubbed smart meters a “critical tool in the transition to a low carbon energy system”.
Although progress has been made in the rollout of smart meters, the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) “faces challenges in meeting its latest targets”, says the National Audit Office (NAO).
