Call for evidence description

The call for evidence focuses on 3 areas of enquiry:

What opportunities exist for integration between smart metering and low carbon technology (LCT) installations to drive efficiencies and enhance the consumer experience as part of the transition to 2030 Clean Power and what role should individual parties play in this?
How do we tackle the existing challenge that insufficient installer field capacity in certain locations can cause delays for some consumers trying to arrange installation appointments, thereby improving speed of access for those consumers?
What role is there for local coordination of smart meter installations, potentially coupled with LCT installations, particularly in areas of low smart meter penetration?

The call for evidence will be of particular interest to energy market participants, including energy suppliers, network operators, meter asset providers, meter operators and meter manufacturers, low carbon technology providers, potential third-party providers, trade bodies, consumer groups, industry groups and local authorities.
