Smart meters for business
Smart meters are the clever way to measure your business energy use
What is a smart meter?
A smart meter is a gas or electricity meter that works by sending meter readings to us via a SIM card in the meter, just like a mobile phone. Once you’re connected you don't need to send us meter readings and you'll receive accurate bills. This means you’ll only pay for the energy you use.
Why upgrade your meter?

- You won’t have to manually send your meter readings any more.
Saves time
- As you won’t have to submit your monthly meter readings.
Accurate bills
