Consumers “miss out” as EDF Energy fails to hit smart meter targets, says Citizens Advice

15 Mehefin 2018

Citizens Advice has responded to Ofgem’s announcement that EDF Energy will pay £350,000 for failing to meet its 2017 smart meter installation target.

Victoria MacGregor, Director of Energy at Citizens Advice, said:

“Smart meters have the potential to deliver major benefits to consumers, through reduced bills and more efficient energy use. It’s consumers who miss out when suppliers don’t hit their targets and fail to get meters up on walls. It’s only right that suppliers should pay a price when this happens.”
