Details

Smart meters provide a range of direct benefits to consumers. We have been monitoring those benefits since roll-out began. This report looks at:

• the evidence collected to date by government, consumer groups and the regulator, Ofgem
• government’s ongoing work with partners to ensure consumer benefits are maximised

This work is supported by the research undertaken by GFK Mystery Shopping (now Ipsos Mori) on behalf of BEIS.
