An energy minister has finally admitted that a target to install an energy smart meter in every home by the end of next year cannot be met.
The project has descended into farce with spiralling costs, delays and tech problems.
Smart meters should provide real-time information on both electricity and gas use to customers and energy firms via transmissions over a system similar to the mobile phone network.

But six years after the start of the programme, just one in four homes – or 12.8million – have a smart meter.
Now the energy minister Claire Perry has admitted that – based on the best estimates – no more than 70-75 per cent of homes will be offered one by the end of next year. She accepted the installation was behind schedule, but described them as ‘absolutely vital’, adding: ‘The original plan, which was set out in 2009, was ambitious and we have seen slippage in deadlines.’
Her officials confirmed that meters are being installed at a rate of 4-5million a year, but this must double to get to 75 per cent of homes by the end of 2020.
MPs on the Commons Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy Select Committee are investigating.
The National Audit Office has warned that the total cost to the UK is expected to rise by £500million to £11.5billion with costs added to customers’ bills.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
