Radio Teleswitch Service switch off
Some homes and businesses in England use Radio Teleswitch Service (RTS) meters to run their heating and hot water. This service is being switched off from 30th June and may negatively impact residents and businesses if they have one. In some cases, the switch-off could mean that their heating and hot water supply stops functioning as normal, or their energy bills could be stuck at a higher peak-rate. Energy suppliers will be contacting any homes or businesses affected, but as a trusted voice in the community, we are being asked to encourage people to take action if needed.
A major national advertising campaign was launched in January calling for RTS customers across Great Britain to urgently upgrade their electricity meters. Smart Energy GB is supporting the campaign, which is being led by Ofgem and the energy sector RTS taskforce.
The key message that we’re being asked to share with our businesses is:
Do you have a RTS meter? The signal that controls these is being switched off, and your heating or hot water could be affected.
If your energy supplier has been in touch about a new meter, you need to act! Find out more on Ofgem’s website here: https://bit.ly/RTSmeter
(the link includes more details and links to lots of energy suppliers websites which explain how any businesses that may be affected can upgrade their meter).
