Large energy suppliers will need to triple the number of smart meters they are installing to meet a 2020 deadline, consumer group Which? has warned. It said firms would need to install 30 smart meters a minute, every day, for the next two years to replace the 46 million existing meters. At present, large energy suppliers are only putting in 9.7 meters a minute. Smart Energy GB said suppliers “are working hard to offer all households smart meters as soon as possible”. A spokesman for the independent body which is responsible for promoting the scheme, added: “In line with the government’s figures, smart meters will help people save on average almost £50 a year on their energy bills by 2030.”
