To get a better understanding of building energy consumption, we engaged SMS plc to apply metering and data expertise for valuable energy management insights.

Since 2013, the Data Communications Company (DCC), one of our subsidiaries within the Capita group, has been licensed by the UK government to build and manage the central network for smart metering across Britain.

The UK is set to spend over £9bn this year on PFI contracts – and a total of £48bn in the next five years. This level of spending will continue until we see the first peak in contracts expiring around 2030. Expiry will see assets worth £14bn (their original capital value) transferring back to public ownership.
