Similar to a conventional metre, a smart metre measures your gas or electricity use. But unlike a conventional metre, a smart metre automatically sends its readings to your supplier. You won't need to check your gas and electricity metres after they are installed with smart metres.
You will always be charged for what you use because the smart metre delivers your measurements automatically. The amount of energy you used during the billing period will have to be estimated by your supplier if you have a normal (non-smart) metre and forget to submit a reading.
A Smart Meter provides comprehensive data on usage to lower electricity costs and raise awareness of the electricity grid's condition, which enhances the grid's functionality and the quality of service.
