Smart meters are part of government initiative

Over the last weeks and months you will have heard smart meters being talked about and how it will affect your energy bills if you have one installed as a consumer or small business.

As part of a government initiative smart meters will become the standard for energy measuring throughout the UK; they will digitally measure your gas and electricity readings, replacing estimated readings. The energy readings will be sent directly to your energy supplier, ensuring you have accurate information and billing; this will enable consumers or small business to control their energy usage and lower bills.

The installation will be taken care of by your provider, including fitting your display and showing you how to use it, as well as providing energy efficiency advice.
