What is a smart meter? How do I switch to one?

Smart Meters are the new generation of gas and electricity meters being rolled out across Great Britain. They will have a number of benefits, the most useful of which is that they will show you the amount of energy you use in near real time and how much you are spending in pounds and pence. It will also bring an end to estimated bills.

Every energy supplier will be providing smart meters at no extra cost to their customers between now and 2020. How soon you can get one depends on your supplier’s plans.

Smart meters will provide you with the information you need to work out whether you are getting the best energy deal, or if you should switch to a different tariff or supplier.

Once the national infrastructure is complete, smart meters will operate between all suppliers which will make it quicker and easier to switch.
