Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, how many and what proportion of households have had smart meters installed as of 28 June 2023, broken down by each local authority; and if he will publish that data on an annual basis in each of the next five years.

The Department has recently published a map of installations broken down by local authority in its Q1 2023 statistics report, which can be accessed at www.gov.uk by searching for ‘Smart meters March 2023’.[1]

Updated annual data on smart meter installation progress broken down by each local authority will next be published in Q1 2024.
