Yorkshire Water mulls direct procurement for smart meter rollout

Yorkshire Water has announced plans to roll out 360,000 smart meters to household and non-household customers by 2030 as part of a region-wide smart metering framework. This follows a successful pilot in Sheffield.

The company has called for expert input on how this might be done. Adam Smith, manager of smart networks and metering transformation, said: “We’re currently considering a range of approaches to our metering projects, as such we will be running a webinar to share more insights on our ambition. We would like to hear from experienced third parties to understand how they can support the programme, including the use of innovative commercial and delivery models such as Direct Procurement for Customers.”

The webinar takes place on 12 April. Register HERE
