Smart Energy GB response to the latest smart meter installation statistics released by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy

16.5 million smart meters are now operating in homes across Great Britain

Robert Cheesewright, Director of Corporate Affairs at Smart Energy GB, said:

"We must urgently tackle the climate crisis, so it is great news that so many people have acted to get smart meters. Every single smart meter installed in Great Britain is a step closer to a smart energy system, which will enable us as a nation to make greater and more efficient use of renewable energy and tackle our ageing energy system's contribution to climate change."
