Module 2: The Radio Teleswitch Service (RTS) switch-off and what you need to know
We partnered with the energy regulator Ofgem and industry group Energy UK to help you understand the RTS system, why it’s being switched off, what your constituents who have RTS meters must do, and, most importantly, how you can help them.
Take a look at all of our resources below to help your constituents with RTS meters understand what they need to do.
What is Radio Teleswitch Service?
The Radio Teleswitch Service (RTS) uses a radio signal to tell some older electricity meters in homes and businesses when to switch between peak and off-peak rates. The RTS is coming to an end because it’s reached the end of its operational life.
