ENERGY Assets Group has said demand for its smart meter technology remains high and it is on course to meet annual targets.

The Livingston, West Lothian, company has been boosted by its acquisition activity with three deals for smaller English rivals completed in the past year.

It said that has helped more than double its installed base of devices across the UK to around 365,000.

Chief Executive Phil Bellamy-Lee said it had been "another successful year" and the outlook for the business remains positive.
