It states in relation to automatic meter reading (AMR) and smart meters: “AMR meters have the facility to be read remotely, automatically and at frequent intervals. Such meters are also often termed ‘advanced’. The technology is applicable to both main utility meters and sub-meters.”

This allows the consumer to manage their energy, save money and reduce carbon emissions. Smart meters also allow for easier switching between suppliers, end estimated billing and eliminate the need for meter readers to visit premises.

	To protect consumers the government has put safeguards in place to ensure that consumers are not subject to any sales pressure during meter installation and that consumers’ privacy is protected by providing them with control over their smart meter data.

	“Domestic users, who represent one third of the total demand for electricity but two thirds of the volatility will progress from passive bill payers to highly informed energy consumers and producers” [21].		“Domestic users, who represent one third of the total demand for electricity but two thirds of the volatility will progress from passive bill payers to highly informed energy consumers and producers” [21].

	As the deployment of smart metering proceeds an increasing range of market-led devices will become available to help consumers manage their energy use including; enhanced energy displays, smart appliances and home automation tools. These will be able to securely connect to the smart meter receiving and reacting to gas and electricity consumption and pricing data.

These will be able to securely connect to the smart meter receiving and reacting to gas and electricity consumption and pricing data.

−	The introduction of a smart grid and smart meters are important elements in de-carbonising electricity in the UK. As this happens the relationship between the supply and demand of electricity will become very much more dynamic and interactive~~. The price of electricity will move away from a relatively fixed tariff to one where it may change every half-an-hour as it does already for many non-domestic consumers [26].~~	+	The introduction of a smart grid and smart meters are important elements in de-carbonising electricity in the UK.

−	While the changes will inevitably bring some problems and issues, the prediction is that the average household bill will be reduced by between 5 per cent and 9 per cent between 2016 and 2030 compared to existing policies [12].	+

However, smart meter deployment has slowed. A total of 780,800 smart and advanced meters were installed by large energy suppliers across Great Britain during the first quarter of 2024, a 10% decline on the previous quarter and an 11% decrease on the same period in 2023.
