A smart meter is an electronic device that records consumption of electric energy and communicates the information to the electricity supplier for monitoring and billing. They use wireless networks, similar to mobile phone networks, to send data directly to your energy supplier about how much gas and electricity you’re using.
With a smart meter you can wave goodbye to estimated billing. The smart meter shows a digital meter reading and uses a secure smart data network (managed by the DCC) to automatically and wirelessly send the readings to your energy supplier at least once a month, so you will receive accurate, not estimated bills.
