Smart meter couldn't be installed. Is it an RTS?

UKPN is my DNO. They're saying they can't do anything without a D0135 flow from my supplier. Been trying to chase it up for a couple weeks now.  I'm on eco 20 20 standard tariff variable is that ok? As long as we won't have issues after the switch off is the main thing but the fuse is concerning me also.

Gotcha!

UKPN are being stubborn though - they won’t budge based on the call I just had with them. Bear with me - I’ve got some options to check deeper.

Ok, managed to get a better agent this time.

Good news for ya - there is a way to resolve this. Please ask EDF to confirm they definitely sent off that D0135 Data Flow. Once they have, UKPN should receive it within 24 hours and you can then go ahead and negotiate/schedule a date for the visit directly with UKPN. As long as it’s on their system, they can authorise it and process it for ya - but you’ll want to call them rather than using the online system.

Do you need the number?

Thanks. I have been chasing both EDF and UKPN. EDF have apparently sent it on the 9th May but they say it needs to go through the meter operators first before it reaches UKPN and they can't estimate any time frame as to when they'll receive it. UKPN on the other hand say it shouldn't take more than 48hrs to reach them. No idea if any of this is accurate information. 

Ah yeah… Typical…

I’m afraid you could be waiting a while then. Calisen Metering (the new name of Lowri Beck) probably isn’t the fastest moving thing in the world so it could take a few weeks to get things moving.

Yes I had a feeling it would be a long process that's why I wanted to make sure this meter will be ok if nothing is resolved by June 30. Is the tariff I'm on ok? Eco 20 20. Online says it's economy 7 and 10 that may be affected? 

You should be OK since it’s running on a local timeswitch - that won’t get touched by the RTS Shutdown.

Thank you that's my main concern!
