Energy+A smart meter uses the latest technology to put you in control of your energy usage and spend. They come with a portable screen called the In-Home Display and are usually situated where your old meters were, such as under the stairs or in a kitchen cupboard.
They are installed at no extra cost by our expert engineers.
A smart meter measures the amount of gas and electricity you consume. They send this information to your In-Home Display and automatically – and securely - send regular meter readings to your supplier via a wireless network.
Smart meters, via the In-Home Display, provide real-time updates of your energy usage and convert it into pounds and pence. By adjusting your behaviour to use less energy day-to-day based on feedback received from your smart meter’s In-Home Display, you could save on your bill or, if you are a Pay As You Go customer, make your top-ups go further.

Smart meters are one of the safest pieces of technology in the home. According to Public Health England (PHE), the exposure to low frequency emissions from smart meters is lower than that caused by appliances such as microwaves and TVs. Smart meters are also covered by EU and UK safety legislation, which means they have undergone rigorous testing.
As almost 90% of our customers have a smart meter installed in their home (double the UK average vs other energy suppliers), we’re delighted that we have no formal installation targets. Providing all the benefits of smart for every customer remains our top priority, so we’ll continue to promote the installation of a smart meters to our remaining customers as soon as we can.
