Smart Energy GB response to Citizens Advice statement on smart meter deadline

Robert Cheesewright, Director of Policy and Communications at Smart Energy GB, said:

"Smart meters will help modernise our energy system and improve customer's experiences, as Citizens Advice recognise.

"They will deliver billions of pounds worth of savings to our economy, and will pave the way for a cleaner, greener and more energy efficient system.

"By getting a smart meter, we can all save money on our gas and electricity bills and stop manual meter readings and inaccurate estimated bills.

"The smart system is so much better than our outdated analogue system, which is why government wants suppliers to ensure every household is offered a smart meter by 2020."
