Accessible information about Smart Meters.

A smart meter is a new type of gas and electricity meter. Smart meters show the amount of gas and electricity you’re using, and how much this is costing you in pounds and pence, on a portable screen.

The smart meter also sends meter readings directly to the energy supplier. This means no need for estimated bills, waiting to have your meter read or sending in readings yourself.

It’s important that people have the right information so that they can decide whether to have a smart meter installed or not.
