Smart Meter Roll Out
Smart meters are a new kind of gas and electricity meter that allow you to monitor your energy consumption in real time. They use a secure national communications network provided by the ‘Data Communications Company’ (DCC) to send your real time consumption securely to your energy supplier via a wifi adapter that also allows you to view your energy usage in pounds and pence through a portable display screen that you can locate as you wish.
The Government is requiring energy companies to install 53 million gas and electricity meters at 30 million properties. Smart meters will be rolled out as standard across the country by 2020.
