Important News: Meter teleswitching

You might have been told by your electricity supplier you need to have your radio teleswitch (RTS) or dynamically teleswitched (DTS) electricity meter replaced. This is because the radio frequency it uses to switch between peak and off-peak rates is being switched off.

The radio frequency is expected to be switched off on 30 June 2025. 

Ofgem, the energy regulator, currently expects all RTS and DTS meters to be replaced by this date, and it s important that you are aware of the changes that will be taking place.

For further information please follow the links below which explain in detail what is happening, how you may identify what type of meter you have and whether teleswitching will affect you.
