How do smart meters work?
Smart meters measure how much gas and electricity you're using.
They also send automatic meter readings to your energy supplier at least once a month, using the same technology as mobile phones so you’ll receive accurate, not estimated bills.
How can a smart meter help my business?
Smart meters are designed to make life easier for businesses.
- Automatic meter readings mean you don’t have to record or submit your own meter readings
- Accurate bills mean you only pay for the energy you use
What does this mean for my business?
If you’re an existing business customer with a half-hourly smart meter you can request up to 12 months of smart meter energy use data through contacting us or through your energy broker.
