Britain will soon witness the installation of over 53 million smart meters in the country for both domestic and non-domestic purposes. With the help of wireless technology, the smart meters will record the energy consumption and make it easier for the customers to switch suppliers. The smart meters will not only reduce the carbon emissions but also allow users to make better decisions about their energy suppliers. 

The newly designed second-generation meters will allow hassle-free switching between the suppliers. However, the users of first-generation meters may have temporary issues while switching suppliers. But soon, every smart meter will utilize a single national communications network that will facilitate seamless switching of energy suppliers for both first and second-generation devices. The users of first-generation meters must ensure that they comply with the upcoming national communications network.

With all smart meters leveraging the same secure network, every customer will experience similar benefits of smart switching. The display panel of smart meters enables users to calculate the energy costs on an hourly, daily, or monthly basis. The smart meters provide transparency into customers’ energy consumption on one device. In addition, they provide more accurate results in an improved way to overcome the concerns related to energy tariffs. There will be an increase in switching frequency in the near future.
