However, some suppliers already operate smart meters they have gained upon switching in smart mode. We are encouraging industry parties to enable more consumers to retain their smart services upon switching.<\/p>

No. Smart meters complying with the first version of the technical specifications (SMETS1) are delivering real benefits to consumers and have helped the industry prepare for the main installation stage of the roll-out. Work is underway to make SMETS1 smart meters interoperable between energy suppliers, through enrolment in to the DCC\u2019s system.<\/p>
<\/p>
Consumers with smart meters are having a positive experience and saving energy. Research by Populus for Smart Energy GB, published in February 2017, found that eight in ten (81 per cent) of those with smart meters would recommend them to others.<\/p>"}

The Data and Communications Company (DCC) has consulted on options for \u2018enrolling\u2019 SMETS1 meters into its system. DCC is considering stakeholders\u2019 responses and will submit a report to Government on options for enrolment later this year. The cost and benefits of enrolment will depend on which option is pursued and Government will take into account value for money when assessing the options.<\/p>
<\/p>
It should be noted that the 2016 cost benefit analysis has already made allowance for the plan to enrol and adopt SMETS1 meters into the DCC.<\/p>

The headline net benefit of the rollout estimated in the 2016 Cost Benefit Analysis is broadly similar to the previous assessment published in 2014. However, there have been significant movements in the composition of benefits beneath the headline figure from updated assumptions and methodological adjustments. As such, it is not meaningful to consider one change in isolation. The 2016 CBA provides an overview of changes to analysis since the 2014 Impact Assessment (Table 2-2 on p.15 of Part I of the CBA).<\/p>"}
