Energy meter update as fresh warning issued to 500,000 customers ahead of switch off

HUNDREDS of thousands of people are being warned they are in danger of having their electricity and hot water switched off.

Almost 500,000 people in England, Scotland and Wales are still using old Radio Teleswitch Service (RTS) energy meters, according to Energy UK.

But the service is being switched off on June 30, meaning those who haven’t upgraded by then face losing their electricity and hot water.
