We know that taking control of energy costs is high on the agenda for most businesses, that's why we're always looking for ways to help you control the energy you use. By understanding the energy you're using and where – you can take the first steps to saving
A growing number of businesses are already taking control of their energy spending with the help of a smart meter from us.
We're aiming to upgrade another 200,000 of our business customers in 2012. If you are a very large business, for example with more than 15 sites or sites associated with framework agreements covering more than 15 sites, you are not eligible for this offer. Please contact your Account Manager to discuss your smart meter requirements.
Smart meters work by transmitting a signal, in the same way a mobile phone does, automatically sending us your meter reading. This means you only pay for the electricity you actually use because we can get an accurate meter reading* from your smart meter.
But that's only the start. In the future, because you've got a smart meter, you'll be able to monitor what you're using and when, and then work out ways to use less, save energy and reduce your costs.
* In some circumstances, for example if a smart meter has failed due to poor signal strength, we may still have to estimate some of your bills or take a further meter reading.
