A smart electricity meter is a digital device that measures your energy consumption in real-time and sends this information to your energy retailer automatically.
Smart meters allow retailers to offer highly customised electricity plans, which can vary by things like the time of day, the maximum usage level, the spot price in the wholesale market, or how much renewable energy is available in the grid.
The information made available by smart meters can help you understand when and how you use energy, how you impact the grid, or how much greenhouse gasses are produced.
This information is available to you through the Open Energy Data – Australian Consumer Data Right (CDR).
With these insights you can reduce your most costly consumption, choose energy plans that better fit your use, and move towards becoming Renewables Ready!
