New research reveals some energy companies are still rolling out outdated smart meters that fail to work when consumers move to a different supplier

The deal, once approved, will make OVO the second largest energy supplier in the UK

However, some very low energy usage customers may see an increase on their bills

If the deal is reached, OVO will become one of the largest energy companies in the country

The change means more than 3.3 million homes will be provided with electricity from solar, wind and biomass plants at no extra cost

The Big Six energy giant said the results “clearly fell well short” of what it hoped to achieve at the start of the year

Customers will see their energy bills reduce by £24 a year

The Big Six supplier said the ‘voluntary enhanced redundancy opportunities’ cover both its customer service and smart meter installation teams

The supplier was a white label of the Big Six company

The regulator, however, ‘remains disappointed’ with the Big Six supplier’s conduct throughout this matter
