What is Smart Meter Awareness Week?

Smart Meter Awareness Week is an annual campaign for the private rented sector in Great Britain. This campaign is designed to help renters, landlords and letting agents better understand the benefits of smart meters. This includes renters and landlords of business properties.

Private renters have good things to say about smart meters: nearly 90% of them who have one now say they would get one again if they moved to a new home without one. And 7 in 10 who don’t have one now, but did in their last place, say they plan to get one in the next 6 months.¹

Benefits for everyone!

Whether you’re a renter, a landlord, or a small business owner who rents their premises, there are benefits to having a smart meter installed.

What are some benefits of smart meters?

For renters

They can help you better understand your energy use and what it’s costing you, and could help you identify places you’re wasting energy.

For landlords

Smart meters can help your tenant better manage their energy bills, and can help reduce disputes at the end of tenancy

For small business owners

They measure your energy use in near-real time and send your reading automatically to your supplier, meaning no more estimated billing
