Energy suppliers have committed to replacing 800,000 Radio Teleswitch (RTS) meters across the UK before the service is switched off next summer.

The agreement follows a summit, organised by Ofgem, gathering energy suppliers and stakeholders to find a joint solution to the challenge of upgrading households from the ageing technology before the service ends on Monday 30 June, 2025.

This joint effort should ensure households, schools, and businesses in effected areas are not left without heating or hot water.

The new #PriceCap is £1717

The level is based on the typical use of an average household on a supplier’s standard default tariff.

It's a cap on the energy unit price suppliers can charge, not a cap on our total bills. If you use more, you will spend more.
