What is a smart meter?

A smart meter is an energy reading meter, similar to the traditional ones installed in homes and provide readings on energy usage. Having a smart meter is an easy way to keep on top of your energy use to be able to manage your bills better.

A smart meter is a device that measures your electricity usage approximately every thirty minutes1. The reading is then automatically sent through to your electricity provider, where they’re able to make this information available to you via apps, web portals, or even in-home display2 systems attached to your smart meter.

Smart meters are around the same size as traditional energy meters, and use about the same amount of power3. Usually, they’re installed where your traditional meter used to be, so they take up no extra room or resources.
