Smart Meter Mandate 2025: What Your Business Needs to Do

The government’s smart meter rollout is picking up pace, and non-domestic customers are under increasing pressure to upgrade. By the end of 2025, most suppliers will expect commercial sites to have a smart meter installed – or face limited tariff options.

Here’s what your business needs to know.

1. What is the Smart Meter Mandate?

It’s part of the UK’s net-zero strategy. Suppliers must offer smart meters to every business customer and report on their installation rates. Businesses, in turn, may need to accept a meter upgrade to access the best tariffs.

2. Why You Shouldn’t Delay Installation

Smart meters send readings automatically, reducing estimated bills and admin time. But more importantly, some suppliers are restricting certain tariffs to smart-metered customers only.

3. How to Get One Installed

Your supplier will normally arrange the upgrade free of charge. However, scheduling can take time, especially as we approach the rollout deadline.

PPS can assist by coordinating with your supplier and checking if your meter type qualifies.

4. Better Rates with PPS

Many suppliers offer preferential smart-meter tariffs that aren’t available publicly. PPS helps you access these and ensures your business stays compliant with upcoming policy changes.
