I am unable to have a smart meter because my meter board is not big enough.

What can I do about this or am I to be forever denied the benefits of smart metering?

It also begs the question of why the spec for the smart meters didn't insist that the have the same footprint and cable entries as the meters that they are replacing.  If more volume is needed they could be deeper rather have a larger footprint.  Though one expects electronic kit to get smaller not larger with each generation.

    They do, as I am sure your DNO and Meter Operator will tell you - the cutout and meter together should sit on a piece of A4 paper in “landscape”. However, you currently have what looks like an Actaris meter, which takes up about half of the standard size allowed. Your new consumer unit should not be on the DNO’s meter board!
