The Smart revolution
Why the need for change?
Smart meters bring far more accuracy and convenience for customers. They help give us more control over the amount we use, which adds up to a more environmentally secure future. The smart meter upgrade will be the biggest infrastructure programme in our homes for over
40 years.
The move towards a more sustainable future
The UK Government, along with others around the world, has committed to reduce energy usage and has set a target for all UK homes to have a smart meter by 2019.
The accuracy that smart meters provide lets us forecast energy use throughout the day, across the country. This means we can become more efficient in how we generate the nation's power, producing cleaner, greener electricity.
