What are Radio Teleswitch System meters and how many are there in Great Britain?
This is the first in a series of articles on Radio Teleswitch System (RTS) meters.
Long before smart meters, an option for variable rate meters was the Radio Teleswitch System, which relied on a radio signal for timing information.

They were previously borne by the Energy Networks Association (ENA). The cost for the RTS service is a direct pass through to BSC Parties, and it has increased from £1.5m in 2022/23 to £4.9m in our 2023/24 business plan.
