Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero)
The Government has made clear to industry that suppliers must fulfil their obligations to customers and must drive up the rate of Radio Teleswitch (RTS) meter replacements.
As part of the RTS Taskforce we are doing all that we can to protect consumers from any negative impacts, and make sure that the carefully managed phase out process of RTS, which starts from 30 June, is as smooth as possible for consumers.
