How do smart meters work?

In the same way that traditional meters measure electricity usage in kilowatts per hour (kWh), a smart meter measures your kWh usage in 15 – 30 minute intervals. This data is then electronically sent to your electricity provider. Where traditional meters store this data in their systems until a person physically comes to take a reading, a smart meter sends the data automatically with no manual assistance.

The electricity provider can set up an in-house display system where you can view your usage. Alternatively, they may create apps and web portals via third party developers. You’ll be given a login, which you’ll use to access detailed information regarding your energy usage. This may include the times of day that you’re using the most power.

In-house systems can also be set up with alerts based on your requirements. For example, you can set up alarm systems to alert you when you’re using ascertain amount of electricity.
