Energy meters in 300,000 homes could stop working at the end of June

There are serious concerns that 300,000 homes will be left without hot water or heating when an old type of electricity meter is switched off on 30th June.

The deadline for households to replace all Radio Teleswitching System meters with smart meters is looming.
