Could a smart meter help you to cut your energy bills?

Smart meters are replacing traditional gas and electricity meters as part of a nationwide infrastructure upgrade.  The benefits touted by energy providers eager to install the technology are numerous. Most obviously, the data from smart meters enables energy suppliers to accurately charge their customers for the exact amount of energy they use. By helping consumers see of the amount of energy they use on a daily basis, they can help you spot ways to reduce your usage and save money. This could also help to deliver on our long-term target of net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. 

About 50% of all meters in the UK are now smart meters but that doesn’t mean that they are right for everyone.
