When will my smart meter be installed?

All suppliers are required to have offered their customers a smart meter for gas and electric by the end of 2020. When you'll get your meter depends on your supplier's current progress and ability to install meters in homes like yours.

By 2020 everyone in England, Scotland and Wales will have been offered smart meters by their suppliers for gas and electricity — this is part of a significant update to Britain's energy infrastructure at the request of the government.

Select your supplier from the list to see their current status regarding the smart meter rollout:

• British Gas

  British Gas and the smart meter rollout

  Between now and 2020 all customers will be able to claim their smart meters, including Pay As You Go (prepayment meter) customers.

  British Gas are working to ensure all their customers can benefit from smart meters now, but smart meter technology is not ready for every home just yet. That means you'll need to have either your electricity, or your gas and electricity with British Gas.

  If your home isn't ready, you can register your interest and be added to the waiting list to receive a smart meter from British Gas. Once you're on this list, you'll be kept up to date and informed of when you can get a British Gas smart meter installed.
