4 Duty to install meters

(2) A meter installed in accordance with paragraph (1) must be situated at a heat exchanger in that building or at the point of entry of the district heat network pipes into the building. (2A) Heat suppliers must comply with paragraph (3) or (4) in respect of all buildings in the viable class supplied by a district heat network or communal heating operated by them. (2B) A heat supplier must comply with paragraph (3) or (4) before 1st September 2022 in respect of a building which first falls within the open class before that date, where the heat supplier determines that it is cost effective and technically feasible to install meters in the building. (2C) A determination for the purpose of paragraph (2B) is to be made— (a) before 27th November 2021, where the building first falls within the open class before that date; or (b) otherwise, before 1st September 2022. (2D) Where a heat supplier determines that it is cost effective and technically feasible to install meters in a building which first falls within the open class on or after 1st September 2022, the heat supplier must comply with paragraph (3) or (4) when the building first falls within the open class. (3) Where only one final customer occupies a building supplied by a district heat network, the heat supplier must ensure that meters are installed to measure the consumption of heating, cooling or hot water by that final customer.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".
Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.
How this law is officially changed
Solon does not know this law's official route yet. The proposal is recorded all the same, and the route appears here once its source is added.
A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
