Does YOUR energy supply depend on an old BBC radio tower in Droitwich?
Daily MailLast legs: These Droitwich transmission towers are all that's keeping the RTS service going Two decades-old pieces of glass and metal are all that stands between 900,000 UK energy meters working properly or being severely disrupted, and even turned off. In the last few weeks and months, many energy firms have been contacting their Economy 7 and 10 customers to tell them that they may need to get a smart meter fitted or else their RTS meters may not work properly. Economy 7 and 10 customers now have until 2025 until their meters stop working That just leaves smart meters, but energy firms have not been able to fit them fast enough. Replacing all these old RTS meters with smart ones by 31 March this year would have required energy firms to fit around 21,500 smart meters a day and to only focus on RTS customers. Some energy firms have already replaced 75 per cent of their customers' RTS meters, while others have only managed 10 per cent, according to Ofgem statistics.
