What is a Smart Meter?

A smart meter is a digital device that records your gas and electricity usage in near real-time and automatically sends readings to your energy supplier. This means no more estimated bills or manual submissions. Just clear, accurate information — every time.

You’ll also receive an In-Home Display (IHD), a simple screen that shows how much energy you're using in pounds and pence — helping you understand and manage your consumption instantly.
