Smart meters will be rolled out to the UK´s 27 million homes faster than the original 2020 target.
The big push to roll-out energy smart meters more quickly has been set in motion.Smart meters give energy consumers real-time information about the amount of energy that they are using, and enable them to better manage their energy use and reduce their carbon emissions.
The Department of Energy & Climate Change (DECC) working with the energy regulator Ofgem, has today launched a consultation paper aimed at speeding up smart meter roll-out compared with the previous 2020 target.
