MOSL marks the milestone of one in ten businesses being smart metered

10% of businesses in England now have a connected smart water meter.

The milestone was logged by market operator MOSL, thanks to its work to track developments at a national level of the regionally-led smart water meter rollout in the business market. Using data provided by water companies, MOSL is visualising progress using interactive maps to provide insights at a company, regional and national level. A metering dashboard has also been updated to include retrospective data, showing the progress of companies' smart meter rollouts since the competitive market opened in April 2017.

Liz D’Arcy, head of data insight and analytics at MOSL, has led the work. She welcomed the 10% milestone and commented: “Our interactive maps and dashboards show the progress companies are making, helping manage customers’ expectations in terms of when their meter may be upgraded, which is particularly important for retailers communicating effectively with business customers operating in multiple wholesaler areas. We look forward to providing future updates as companies work to meet their goal of providing smart metering to two thirds of business customers by the end of this Asset Management Period.”
