AMR meters
Time to switch to simpler, smarter metering
As part of the UK Government’s commitment to reducing energy use and meeting carbon-reduction targets, it has mandated that energy suppliers must make all reasonable efforts to install Smart meters or Advanced Meter Reading (AMR) equipment in all businesses and homes by 2025.
To support the roll-out, the energy industry has set annual targets for all suppliers for Smart and AMR meter installations up to the end of 2025.
ENGIE’s 2023 target was to install 737 gas meters and 1,575 electricity meters.
In 2023 ENGIE installed 762 gas meters and 1,697 electricity meters.
Our 2024 target is 869 gas meters and 3909 electricity meters.
We are excited about the benefits this transition will bring to our customers, as it means an end to manual meter reading and estimated bills. Meter readings will be transmitted automatically to your supplier, so bills are always based on actual consumption.* It also makes the process of switching suppliers simpler than ever.
The latest generation of Smart meters (SMETS2) can communicate with all suppliers, so there will be no interruption to your remote meter readings if you change supplier. If you have a SMETS1 Meter currently at site, we will look to connect to the meter upon change of supply, however if this is not possible we will look to upgrade this to SMETS2.
Smart and AMR meters can allow you to see exactly how much energy your business is using, and enable more accurate bills, helping to support your energy-efficiency efforts and reduce your energy bills.

ENGIE and its Smart metering agents follow the requirements of the Consolidated Metering Code of Practice (CoMCoP). The CoMCoP is part of the Retail Energy Code and sets out standards for the installation of Smart meters. It can be found on the Retail Energy Code website.
