Total Gas & Power's Smart Meters, or Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) devices, collect and transmit energy data to give you specific, detailed information about how you are using energy in your business.

Smart Meters use wireless technology that allows for communication between Total Gas & Power and your meter. With our Smart Meter the raw data is collected, validated and delivered in a user friendly format for your use.

There are many obvious benefits to this technology, but the greatest is the opportunity to understand and effectively manage your energy. With Total Gas & Power’s Smart Meter service you can eliminate waste and identify energy saving opportunities.

Alistair Buchanan, Chief Executive of energy regulator OFGEM, said "Smart Meters have great potential to help customers better understand their energy consumption and encourage energy efficiency. Ofgem's initial work suggests that Smart Meters are the future – the end of the meter reader...(providing) vastly improved consumption data readily available (to you.)" 1

Smart Meters help you reduce carbon emissions and energy consumption by helping you identify when and why you are using your energy, which should lead to 5-20% 2 savings on your utilities.

How Does It Work?

This Smart Meter package is a powerful tool for cutting your energy consumption. Your meter generates a pulse as gas or electricity passes through it, which the Smart Meter counts and records. This information is sent from the Smart Meter via mobile communications GSM/SMS technology on a daily basis. The data is used to deliver accurate invoices and to provide specific information for your monitoring and energy management purposes.
