flag Starting Feb 2026, UK households get £40 compensation for smart meter delays or failures due to supplier issues.

flag Starting February 2026, UK households facing delays or failed smart meter installations may automatically receive £40 compensation if they wait more than six weeks for an appointment, experience a failure due to supplier issues, or aren’t given a resolution plan within five working days. flag The new rules, set by energy regulator Ofgem, aim to improve service reliability, hold suppliers accountable, and boost consumer confidence. flag Over 900,000 non-working meters have been repaired since 2024, and more than 70% of UK homes now have a smart or advanced meter. flag The changes support broader goals of accurate billing, real-time energy tracking, and access to cheaper tariffs, with industry groups welcoming the move as a step toward better service and wider adoption.
