For the industry it was supposed to be complete by 2020, but since the
debacle about them not working with different energy companies systems and
the gchq leak that the current ones are easy to hack, I suspect this will be
dropped or at least moved off anothe five years as the costs involved in re
replacing the current ones must be paid for by somebody, and since they
promise to cap bills that does not leave anyone to pay it does it?
