SMETS1 Enduring Support for the DCC

SMETS1 meters have gradually been replaced by SMETS2 devices in the UK since 2018. However, some pre-existing SMETS1 meters remain in operation in households and businesses, requiring support from the Data Communications Company (DCC).  

As part of its Enduring Support solution, Critical Software leveraged its intimate knowledge of the DCC to offer expertise and technical assistance to managing Dual Control Organisation (DCO) and Commissioning Party System (CPS) applications, as well as helping to resolve migration issues between SMETS1 and 2 meters.
