Ofgem, energy suppliers and consumer groups back major new advertising campaign calling for customers with RTS meters to upgrade now .

Posted on by AMO Gemserv

Ofgem, along with energy suppliers and consumer groups, has launched a new advertising campaign urging customers with Radio Teleswitch Service (RTS) meters to upgrade to newer meters. The campaign highlights the importance of upgrading before the RTS signal is switched off on June 30, 2025.

RTS meters, which were introduced in the 1980s, use radio signals to switch between peak and off-peak rates. The campaign aims to ensure that customers book their meter upgrade as soon as they are contacted by their energy supplier to avoid potential issues with heating, hot water, and higher bills.

A longer-form film is available on Ofgem’s website. This provides more information about RTS meters to help households and businesses identify if they have an RTS meter.   

The RTS Taskforce includes Ofgem, Energy UK, energy suppliers, District Network Operators, Smart Energy GB, government and consumer groups. Taskforce members have signed up to the RTS Call to Action, a commitment to work together to replace RTS meters across Great Britain.

SEC Change sub committee

Posted on by AMO Gemserv

The next monthly SEC Change Sub-Committee will be held on 21 January 2025, starting at 10:00.

At this meeting they plan to discuss:

They will also discuss two new Modification Proposals that will be raised on their website shortly:

  • DP279 ‘June 2025 SEC Releases & DUIS Housekeeping Changes’
  • DP280 ‘CPA Scheme Transition to SSC’

SEC Consultation : MP277 ‘Virtual Gateway Connection’

Posted on by AMO Gemserv

The following SEC modification is currently out for consultation, with the deadline for responses closing 13 January 2025 

MP277 ‘Virtual Gateway Connection’

MP277 proposes to implement a Virtual Routing & Forwarding (VRF) component and new virtual Firewall for each cloud connected DCC Gateway Party. The Firewall will route traffic between each DCC Gateway Party’s VRF and the associated Smart Metering Equipment Technical Specifications (SMETS)2 VRF. The Firewall would only allow a DCC Gateway Party to access the DSP, Trusted Service Provider (TSP), testing environments and Service Now (SNOW). The Proposed Solution will also provide the option for prospective, new and existing DCC Users to connect to the DCC through a virtual DCC Gateway Connection by selecting a virtual connection from the DSP Service Catalogue. In addition, the DCC will likely need to make changes to the DCC Charging Statement to reflect costs associated with a virtual DCC Gateway Connection.
