What are Radio Teleswitch System meters and how many are there in Great Britain?
This is the first in a series of articles on Radio Teleswitch System (RTS) meters.
Long before smart meters, an option for variable rate meters was the Radio Teleswitch System, which relied on a radio signal for timing information. Since April 2020 the costs for the RTS service have been recovered through the Balancing and Settlement Code (BSC) charging arrangements. They were previously borne by the Energy Networks Association (ENA). The cost for the RTS service is a direct pass through to BSC Parties, and it has increased from £1.5m in 2022/23 to £4.9m in our 2023/24 business plan.
