Feed-in Tariff (FiT) installations increased during the first quarter of 2019 as households looked to take advantage of the scheme before it was scrapped.
There are now more than 12 million smart and advanced meters operating across homes and businesses in Great Britain, according to new figures from the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS).
The deadline for the installation of the first generation of energy smart meters (SMETS1) faces yet another extension as the government consults on plans to move the end date back by eight weeks.
Companies will need to work around the clock to finish installing 53 million smart gas and electric meters in homes by the 2020 target, according to new research by Which?
Citizens Advice has reported a stream of complaints from harassed customers, who say they have been hit with a barrage of texts, emails, letters and phone calls from energy companies wanting them to get a smart meter.
