<p>In Great Britain, we are adopting a supplier-led approach to the roll-out of smart
meters. Energy suppliers are required to take ‘all reasonable steps' to install smart
meters to all of their domestic and smaller non-domestic customers in Wales, England
and Scotland by 2020.</p><p>There is no centralised roll-out strategy and suppliers
are free to plan the roll-out in a way that suits their business and the needs of
their customers, subject to the requirement to complete the roll-out by 2020. They
are considering a range of factors in developing their strategies for this, such as
the geographical location of their customers, the age of the current meter stock,
and the extent to which they wish to respond to customer demand.</p><p> </p>
