	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/11/2017 answer text <p>Consumers with first generation smart (SMETS1) meters are still able to switch supplier, and are in a better position to do so thanks to accurate information on their energy usage. If the new supplier is not able to operate the meter in 'smart' mode, the meter will continue to record energy consumption accurately and can be used in 'traditional' mode.</p><p> </p><p>Second generation smart (SMETS2) meters will be fully compatible between energy providers, therefore allowing all consumers to retain smart services when they switch energy suppliers.</p><p> </p><p>The Data and Communications Company is developing a solution to move SMETS1 meters onto the national communications infrastructure to enable consumers to retain their smart services upon switching. We expect this to commence in late 2018.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p> </p> answering member constituency Watford answering member printed Richard Harrington question first answered 29/11/2017 14:06:33 answering member 4068 label Biography information for Lord Harrington of Watford
