Regulatory arrangements for enrolment and adoption of Foundation Meters

An important task for the DCC, its service providers, and energy suppliers will be to establish projects to develop or procure systems or services under which the DCC will enrol and operate SMETS 1 meters installed during the Foundation stage on behalf of suppliers.

The government considers it important that an appropriate regulatory and governance framework is put in place to govern these projects and to provide assurance to stakeholders that the projects will be progressed in an effective manner. This document sets out proposals for a number of key elements of that framework.
