Smart meters are electronic devices that automatically record and transmit electricity consumption data to energy providers, usually every half hour. This eliminates the need for manual readings common with older analog meters and provides more detailed data for billing and energy management purposes. In some cases, your energy retailer may require the installation of a smart meter as a condition of joining them or certain energy plans.
