| Description: | The Programme aims to replace existing traditional gas and electricity meters across Great Britain with smart gas and electricity meters resulting in a cleaner, cheaper and more reliable energy system. Smart meters are a key enabler of technologies such as electric vehicles, smart tariffs and microgeneration to be efficiently integrated with renewable energy sources, underpinning the cost-effective delivery of Government's net zero commitment. |
| DCA (RAG) | Amber |
| DCA text: | Compared to financial year 19/20-Q2, the Infrastructure Project Authority's Delivery Confidence Assessment rating remained at Amber. This is primarily due to the following factors: The IPA and SRO Delivery Confidence Assessment (DCA) rating has continued to be Amber, due primarily to the following factors; - There were 23.6 million smart and advanced meters operating across Great Britain as of end December 2020 - A new regulatory framework was announced in June 2020 for implementation in July 2021. - Re-mobilisation support across industry delivery partners was established to respond to the impact of COVID-19. Industry has made good progress in re-mobilising workforces and BEIS has continued to provide support to industry through the latest national lockdown. - Customer smart meter eligibility is increasing following positive developments on resolution of residual technical issues. - BEIS continues to work with energy suppliers to increase consumer uptake through improved consumer engagement and operational fulfilment activities, supported by consumer policies, and to drive faster progress towards a market wide roll-out. |

| Schedule text | Compared to financial year 19/20-Q2, the project's end-date increased from 31 December 2024 to 30 June 2025 This is primarily due to the following factors: Energy suppliers were given an additional six months to meet their smart metering obligations, recognising that COVID-19 and lockdowns restricted energy suppliers' ability to enter premises. The scheduled baseline project end date is now 30 June 2025. |
