The end of Radio Teleswitch Service (RTS) meters in Great Britain is swiftly approaching, as the technology that supports RTS will start the process of being phased out on the 30th June 2025. RTS meters rely on a specific radio frequency to work – without this technology, they will stop functioning properly and will no longer be fit for purpose.
Lead times to exchange your RTS meter can sometimes be longer than expected, so it’s important that you begin the process of replacing your meter as soon as possible, to avoid being caught out and causing potential impacts to your electricity bill. Here, we explain everything you need to consider, from how to identify an RTS meter, what this change could mean for your business, and the benefits that come with changing over to a smart meter.
