Smart meters enable both users and energy suppliers to track the energy consumption of a home, making it possible to more easily understand when a home uses more energy and how it could become more efficient, and potentially highlight where a household could switch to a cheaper tariff based on their usage. By entering your Meter Point Administration Number found on your electricty bill and postcode, consumers can check the status of their smart meter.
