RTS electricity meter switch off on 30 June affecting electricity and water supply - take action today

The signal that controls Radio Teleswitch Service (RTS) electricity meters is being switched off on 30 June 2025 due to the equipment having reached the end of its operational life. This could affect your electricity and water supply so please read below to find out the action you need to take.

RTS uses a radio signal to tell some older electricity meters when to switch between peak and off-peak rates. This shutdown will affect energy consumers that have an RTS electricity meter in their home or business.

If you have an RTS electricity meter you will need to have it replaced.
