Nationwide smart meter installations had an unexpected month-on-month bump in July with an extra 30,000 installs compared to the month before, ElectraLink’s latest data-driven energy insights reveal.
There were 208,000 installations last month – 17 percent more than June 2024 and marginally fewer than the 210,000 installs in July last year.
There have been 1.39mn installations so far this year – just ahead of the 1.36mn in January-July 2023. Over 23.7mn installations have taken place since 2012.
In terms of regional installations, the usual regions remained in the top three for another month. East England had 27,000 installations, Southern England had 21,000 and the East Midlands had 20,000 installations.

NOTES:
These figures represent electricity smart meter installations in GB. Visit the DESNZ website for the latest dual fuel smart meter reports.
The analysis is based on the D0150 data flows transmitted across our network and we believe capture the vast majority of electricity smart installs.
The users of the DTS have given ElectraLink permission to intercept and analyse this, and other data flows, subject to certain conditions.
Our analysis defines smart meters as those models with the capability to handle time of use tariffs and which can be remotely updated.
For installations after September 2013, we count all meters flagged as SMETS1, SMETS2 or non-SMETS. For installations before the industry standard designation was agreed, the allocation is based on the make and model of meter.
