Home installation of smart meters has "mountain to climb"

BSRIA has commented on the take up and value for money of smart meters being fitted in UK homes.

DECC’s (Department of Energy & Climate Change) own figures suggest that at the end of 2015 only 2.3 million meters were deployed in smart mode of some 51 million due to be installed by end 2020.
Julia Evans, chief executive, BSRIA, said: “This suggests a mountain still to climb, doubtless accompanied by avalanches of controversy about concerns both real and imagined – including costs and data protection.”
