Why can’t we always tell you when you’re going to get your smart meter?

Like every other supplier, we've regrettably had to pause our smart meter installations several times this year. We’re prioritising emergencies and vulnerable customers, and lockdown has also meant we’re having to plan additional flexibility into our schedule (due to rising cancellations).

Despite ongoing restrictions, with each week that has gone by since the first lockdown, we’ve installed more meters than the week before. You can find more information about the status of our current installations in this dedicated blog post.
