    Currently there are noapproved Smart (SMETS) meters they are all trial meters that will require some form of upgrade to be SMETS compliant.
    IT Consultant in the utilities industry specialising in the retail electricity market.

    4 Credit Card and 1 Loan PPI claims settled for £26k, 1 rejected (Opus).
  • Interesting? I thought the British Gas smart meters were SMETS compliment? British Gas use the Landis & Gyr E470 and G370 meters. The only other supplier I know is First Utility, but I don't know if they are SMETS compliment?
  • Eon have been installing them, same meter as BG , the Landys and Gyr E470 electric meter

    Isn't the issue that the specs for SMETS have yet to be fully decided?

    Anyway I think first utility and Utilita will install SMART.

    I want a smart meter as soon as I know that it will be compatible with any supplier and allow seamless tariff change between Economy 7 and Standard if required. Also I assume that the consumer can go online and see their own smart meter current readings and consumption patterns?

    But I guess I'm expecting too much.

    Why oh why is it taking the UK so long to get it's *ss into gear while politicians bleat on about the importance of energy saving?
