The British government wants to see smart meters in all homes nationwide by the end of 2019. This is a huge challenge for the energy industry and all of us who work in it. So how are we approaching this major program of work? How are we going to meet the timescales and deliver the benefits of £7.5 billion foreseen in the government’s Impact Assessment? With only 6 years (about the same as the preparation for the 2012 Olympics) to replace every gas and electricity meter in all GB homes from 2014, this is not exactly an easy task.
