AMO Gemserv

Suppliers have been asked to review Ofgem’s proposed changes to SMICoP which would require them to publish the results of customer surveys. It is anticipated for these to be published in early 2020. The greatest need for change is likely to fall on small suppliers and their service providers as this sector is showing the lowest levels of compliance with the code.

The New and Replacement Obligation (NRO) activation date is 30 June 2019. From this date, Suppliers will need to take ‘all reasonable steps’ to install a smart meter. Exceptions are where a meter cannot be installed for technical or practical reasons, in emergency circumstances or where a consumer wishes to retain a traditional meter.

The Data Communications Company (DCC) has announced that it has reached a milestone of one million SMETS2 meters successfully connected to its network. At 14:48 on Tuesday 21 May 2019, the 1,000,000th meter was installed in Slough by SSE.
