Join the best of Britain - Get a smart meter
With over 35 million smart meters in the homes of Great Britain, they’re as popular as our nation's favourites! In 2023 alone, 3.5 million smart meters were installed. Great work Britain!
Leading the way
Today's technology has come so far, and Britain is leading the way.
We're proud to be tech leaders – from cloning Dolly the sheep to inventing the World Wide Web. And when talking about innovation, you can't forget about smart meters. It's the next generation of a gas and electricity meter – replacing outdated analogue meters with state-of-the-art tech. It lets you keep track of how much gas and electricity you're using, as well as what it's costing you, in near-real time.
Now that’s smart!
Into the future
Smart meters are helping Britain create an energy system that's fit for the future. They form an integral part in helping us transition to a smart energy system which helps Britain be more efficient with its energy usage.
Reducing waste
They could help the nation reduce energy waste, which benefits the environment. With a smart meter, it’s easier to see where you can make small changes to lower your energy use, which could mean lower energy bills and a smaller carbon footprint*
We’re in this together
Did you know, over 60% of existing meters have now been replaced with a smart meter? But without the whole of Britain getting one installed, we can’t benefit from a truly flexible energy system, and reduce carbon emissions.**
