‘The Government must commit to keeping the £11bn cost of rolling out smart meters under control’ – our response to Public Accounts select committee announcement on smart meters.

Richard Lloyd, Which? executive director, said:

“Energy prices are consistently one of the top worries for consumers so the Government must commit to keeping the £11bn cost of rolling out smart meters under control.

“As consumers will ultimately foot the bill for smart meters, the programme must be done at the lowest possible cost and ensuring that consumers benefit, not just suppliers.”
