Product Information

The SMETS1 meters began rollout in 2017 before being replaced by SMETS2 in 2018. That should mean that all smart meters being installed in the UK today are the SMETS2 type. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Energy suppliers had a huge surplus of SMETS1 meters and kept installing them. To combat this, OFGEM stopped SMETS1 meters from counting towards government targets in March 2019. Now any supplier still installing SMETS1 meters risks falling short of targets and receiving financial penalties. Are energy suppliers currently meeting targets?

Physical distancing is one of a number of measures that can help to reduce the incidence of COVID-19. There is evidence that the risk of transmission increases by 2-10 times at 1m compared to 2m and the potential for higher occupancy at 1m distancing will also increase risk if there are no mitigations. However, mitigations may reduce the level of risk at 1m so that it is broadly equivalent to being 2m apart. This is reflected in COVID-Secure guidance, which makes provision for when 2m distancing is not possible in sectors that are currently open. While SMETS2 meters offer many of the same benefits as SMETS1 meters, they contain the most up-to-date technology to help make life easier – especially if you ever want to switch suppliers.Aerosol transmission - fine droplets of liquid containing virus are breathed out, form an aerosol and are carried through the air. You may become infected if you breathe these in. Current guidance states that “where possible, you should maintain 2m between people”. The guidance should change to state that 2m or 1m with risk mitigation (where 2m is not viable) are acceptable, and that businesses should consider and set out the mitigations that they will introduce in their risk assessment. A clear communications campaign explaining how to reduce the spread of the virus, and increase understanding of the guidance, including on how to reduce risk at 1m and what risk mitigations are, is essential to implement this change effectively. A suggested basis for communications to the public is set out at Annex A.

Countries similar to the UK recommend 1m (France, Italy, Singapore), 1.5m (Germany, Netherlands, Australia) or ranges starting at 1m (South Korea, Taiwan). They often mandate mitigations, most commonly the wearing of face masks in public settings (Germany, Italy).

To determine the length of the meter, the French Academy of Sciences turned to the Earth itself. They decided to use one ten-millionth of the distance from the North Pole to the equator as the basis for the meter. This distance was measured along a meridian passing through Paris, from Dunkirk to Barcelona. The task of accurately measuring this distance fell to two French astronomers, Jean-Baptiste Delambre and Pierre Méchain.An early definition of a metre was "the length of a pendulum with a half-period of one second" By the 18th century a definition based on "one ten-millionth of the length of the Earth's meridian along one quadrant" (the distance from the equator to the North Pole) was gaining favour, and this was the accepted definition when France adopted the metric system in 1795.

This table shows common meter to feet conversions. Accuracy is up to 5 decimal places for meters to feet and to the nearest 16th of an inch for meters to feet and inches. Over the last fortnight, a review panel, led by the Permanent Secretary to No10 and including the Government Chief Scientific Adviser, the Chief Medical Officer, and the Chief Economic Adviser to HM Treasury, has considered the efficacy of the government’s social distancing guidelines in the context of the current prevalence of the virus. They have considered the scientific evidence, the economic impact of social distancing, behavioural responses and international comparators. The upgraded SMETS2 meters have tried to learn from the shortcomings of the previous models. No longer relying on 3G sim cards, these meters use a secured government network to transfer data (known as the DCC). The meter (symbol: m) is the fundamental unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). It is defined as "the length of the path travelled by light in vacuum during a time interval of 1/299,792,458 of a second." In 1799, France start using the metric system, and that is the first country using the metric. Foot (ft)

jobs have been furloughed across the UK, including over 1.75m jobs in sectors that are currently closed (including in accommodation, food services and recreation) [footnote 3]. Some of these jobs are at risk if reopening is not viable at 2m, with the potential for sizable redundancies. Unemployment has severe negative social and economic impacts including on mental health and the risk of long-term economic scarring.
