Common Questions About Smart Metering
Get answers to your most pressing questions about smart meter installations and services.
What Are the Advantages of Installing Smart Meters
Smart meters offer real-time insights into your energy consumption, improve billing accuracy, and promote energy-cost saving practices. They also unlock additional benefits from emerging power generation technologies.
Understanding Your Meter Replacement Options
There are currently two pathways for replacing your meter. You can do nothing and the Legacy Meter Replacement Program will be scheduled by your retailer, or opt for our Pathway, which allows you to engage directly in the process and have a say in the decisions that affect you.
Can smart meters help reduce energy costs?
Yes, by providing detailed insights into energy consumption, smart meters empower users to make informed decisions and potentially lower energy bills.
What If I Choose Not to Have a Smart Meter
Regrettably, opting out is no longer an option available to you. Recent legislative changes mandate that all meters must be replaced by 2030 as part of the Legacy Meter Replacement Plan. If you take no action, the rollout will eventually reach your area, and you may miss out on valuable benefits and savings associated with our offer.
Who pays for the Meter Replacements?
Customers do not pay upfront for the meter replacement itself when it’s done as part of the scheduled LMRP rollout. Retailers are prohibited from charging upfront fees for these exchanges, and the installation is effectively covered through industry arrangements (with costs ultimately recovered via regulated network charges or retail pricing over time, rather than direct billing to the customer for the replacement).
However, additional fees may apply in cases like:
- If extra electrical work is needed (e.g., switchboard upgrades or asbestos removal) or it you meter panel does not comply with current standards.
- If you request a meter upgrade for solar
