Tracking your energy spend is easy with a smart meter

Smart meters are an example of a tool that are making a big difference. 44% of users regularly check their in-home display to monitor energy use, and 51% say having one has encouraged them to switch off unused appliances.

Smart meters are installed by your energy supplier at no extra cost, and households who say theirs has helped them save money report savings of around £174 a year.

By giving you near real-time visibility, a smart meter can make it easier to take advantage of reward schemes, flexible tariffs, and stay on top of your energy as you use it.
