Unlike traditional meters, which simply register a running total of energy used, smart meters can record half-hourly price and consumption data and provide automatic meter readings to your energy supplier.
Households with outdated Radio Teleswitch Service (RTS) meters must switch to smart meters in the next six months to avoid getting cut off, E.ON Next has warned.
Smart meter warning for 65,000 energy customers who will be cut off within months A MAJOR energy supplier is urging 65,000 customers to take action to avoid being cut off within months.
Over 65,000 E.ON Next customers still rely on these outdated meters and the supplier is urging these customers to come forward and get a smart meter installed.
Ramona Vlasiu, chief operating officer at E.ON Next, said: "It is vitally important for customers with RTS meters to respond to us to ensure their meter is upgraded before the radio signal is switched off from June 30.
