The Government recently announced the roll-out time table for smart meters. This will take place between 2014 and 2019, which will see the meters installed in 30 million homes in the UK.
The initiative is expected to generate the equivalent of £7.5 billion in energy savings over the next twenty years.
Sustainable Homes has published on its website a comprehensive package of information about the effects of the roll out of smart metres, which can be accessed via this link.
