Getting the most from your Smart meter
Your Smart data choices
Unless you change your settings, smart meters share your daily energy use with us so you only pay for what you use. To make the most of your Smart meter, you can choose to give us half-hourly usage updates which will help us highlight easy ways to reduce your usage and save money.
Monthly - Smart
To ensure you get accurate bills, we need to collect a reading from your Smart meter at least once a month.
Daily - Smarter
Your Smart meter is pre-set to send us readings daily, great for comparing your energy use on weekdays with weekends.
Half-hourly - Super Smart
With half-hourly data, you’ll get access to online tools, reports and advice – and because you can see how your energy use fluctuates throughout the day, you could save energy and money.
This more detailed information helps you budget and plan ahead more effectively.
