Can energy suppliers turn smart meter complaints into a valuable source of intelligence and the foundation for improved operations and engagement?
Suppliers now have until the end of 2025 to complete the rollout of smart meters to as many domestic properties in GB as possible, laying the foundations for a new world of dynamic energy services based on accurate knowledge of consumption.
