Do you have a meter which requires private access? A member of your business will need to be present to provide access for the install
Does my business need a smart meter?
Smart meters offer real-time energy usage to be reported to retailers. This can help:
- Improved Energy Efficiency: Real-time usage data allows businesses to analyse energy patterns and identify high-consumption periods. This insight helps businesses adjust operations to reduce energy usage, potentially saving on costs.
- More Accurate Billing: Because smart meters send frequent data, businesses receive bills based on actual usage rather than estimates. This helps avoid billing surprises.
- Demand Management: By monitoring when peak demand occurs, businesses can shift high-energy processes to off-peak times to benefit from lower rates, potentially lowering demand charges.
- Integration with Renewable Energy: For businesses with solar or other renewable energy sources, smart meters simplify tracking of how much energy is generated versus used, aiding in optimizing self-consumption or selling excess energy back to the grid.
Do I have a smart meter already?
Sometimes its difficult to know if you don't regularly visit your site!
Two questions to answer:
- Are you billed regularly, every 30 days?
- Are all your bills based on actual reads? (Check your Termina invoice for more information)
If the answer to both of the above is yes, you likely already have a smart meter installed at your site. Note - smart meters are not currently available for gas meters.
