Since ages, we have been using power meters to record and track power consumption in our homes and offices. Like a traditional meter, a smart meter measures how much gas and electricity you use. The difference is that a smart meter uses the latest technology to give both you and your supplier accurate and regular updates on how much energy you are using.

Functional Benefits to Consumers Gives them the freedom to regulate and control their energy consumption

Unlike traditional power meters which used to only give only power consumption energy readings once in a month; the new and advanced smart power meters give consumers the power to control and regulate their daily energy consumption needs as per their need and requirement.

Helps in structuring better energy network framework

With the help of smart power meters now it easy to structure energy network framework that is more efficient and provides better and optimal energy consumption solutions. Below are the smart power meter advantages which will help you understand their function in a better way.

• By monitoring energy usage more closely in ‘real time’ you may be motivated to use less, meaning your bills will be cheaper.
• A smart meter will mean more accurate bills. It will also mean an end to estimated bills – and to someone knocking at your door to take readings.
• There’s no upfront cost to have one fitted. But we all ultimately pay for smart meters through a levy on our energy bills.
• You don’t have to remember to send meter readings to your energy supplier. The smart meter does this automatically.
• If you are a prepayment customer, you’ll find it easier to keep tabs on when your credit is running low.
