Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, how many homes will have been offered a smart meter in the West Midlands by the end of 2017.

We do not hold this information.

Energy suppliers have their own individual systems and criteria for recording offers for installations of a smart meter.

The rollout of smart meters is on track to deliver significant benefits, including putting an end to estimated bills, and is set to save consumers £300m in 2020 alone.

Suppliers are mandated by government to offer every household and small business a smart meter by 2020, and remain committed to this target.
