5 BENEFITS

OF USING A SMART METER

1 BILL ACCURACY

Because energy usage information is constantly being measured, you won’t be charged based on estimated values.

2 AN EYE ON THE COST

The monthly cost of your electricity can be displayed on the smart meter screen as it is being used.

3 REDUCED CONSUMPTION

A smart meter makes you more aware of when you are using a lot of electricity. In most cases, this helps people actively reduce energy consumption.

4 LOWER CARBON FOOTPRINT

If everyone in Britain switched to a smart meter, the carbon dioxide savings made would be equal to 70 million trees.

5 ACCESSIBLE DATA

Some smart meters can divide bills into prices per individual electrical item. This data can be viewed on a mobile phone.
