Shell recently fitted me a dumb meter without any problems last month. 
Old imperial one had a leak

It’s incredibly unusual now - although probably more likely in an emergency situation which I assume yours was.

The RTS LW transmission switch off has now been delayed to 2025.

I was actually given the choice

Even more unusual, in that case.

I can't find the link, but there was a news item somewhere online saying that it had been delayed to 2025, as about half the installed base of RTS meters have not yet been replaced with smart meters?

"The Radio Teleswitching Service (RTS) was due to be decommissioned in April 2022. However, this is now set to be extended until April 2025 (to tie in with Market-wide Half Hourly Settlement implementation timescales)."

See Page 9.

I wasn`t doubting you because when you Google RTS, there seems to be a variety of cut off dates, April 2025 just being the latest .


The original deadline for energy suppliers to offer and install smart meters in all UK homes was 2020, however the deadline was revised to 85% of homes by 2024 and has been further pushed back by the government due to the Coronavirus lockdown.

And likely to miss the 2025 target also unless they start to fit double the numbers that they do now.
