I have a THTC installation with a Radio Teleswitch that controls the storage heaters.  Has OVO developed any smart meter configurations that can replace the radio Teleswitch as this is due to become obsolete next year.

Update on RTS shutdown:

 

As part of the RTS Project development, we are really happy to share with you our progress:

 

As you may be aware, the RTS signal that instructs some of our meters when to move to the “Off Peak Period”  will be closing down soon and we need to arrange for all of our RTS customers to have a meter exchange so they don’t lose any of their meter functionality.

 

The RTS signal will end for our customers on 30 June 2025. The period between 1 July - 30 September 2025 will then be used to close-down the RTS signal and allow us to manage any unexpected customers impacted.

 

After a very successful pilot, from the 17th June 2024 we will begin writing to our Economy 10 RTS customers to invite them to call us to arrange for their meter exchange. 

 

We are continuing to work at pace to enable the same solution for the majority of our other RTS customers and our aim is to begin writing to these customers in Aug 2024. 

 

We will continue to update you on our progress.

Hi @Gunnista ,

Yes, these are in development but they’re not ready yet. I’ve seen the progress with my own eyes when I visited their HQ in November 2022 so it’s definitely being worked on.

We’re watching too - this forum will be updated when we know more.

That's good, I hope the solution in development can maintain the 24hr and switched heating loads at cheaper rate.

I think that’s the plan.

Can’t promise that THTC will still be a thing in 10 years time, but certainly no plans to nuke it in the short to medium term that I’m aware of.
