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 21/22-Q4, the Senior Responsible Owner's DCA rating at 22/23-Q4 remained at Amber. This is primarily due to the following factors.- There were 32.4 million smart and advanced meters operating across Great Britain as of end March 2023.- A new 4-year regulatory framework was implemented on 1st January 2022 with minimum installation targets set for energy suppliers for 2022 and 2023.- Work is underway on the Mid-Point review of the Targets Framework. A consultation on minimum installation targets for years 3 and 4 of the Framework (2024 and 2025) closed on 21 March and responses are now being reviewed.- Customer smart meter technical eligibility moved to 99% in January 2023 with the controlled commencement of Alternative Home Area Network solution installations. Deployment is due to enter the mass rollout phase later in 2023. - DESNZ/SMIP continues to work with energy suppliers to improve consumer engagement and operational fulfilment activities to strengthen and increase consumer uptake and to continue to support installations at scale.
