Are smart meter plans worth it?

Smart meter plans are generally worth it as they offer several benefits. With a smart meter, you get accurate billing based on real-time energy usage, eliminating estimated bills. You can monitor and manage your consumption more effectively, often saving money by using electricity during off-peak hours with tailored tariffs like day/night or EV Smart Drive plans.

What is the downside of a smart meter?

Smart meters do have a few downsides to consider. Once installed, you can’t switch back to a traditional meter. Also, in some rural areas, weak signal strength can affect automatic readings, so you might need to submit readings manually now and then.

I have a day/night meter, can I get a smart meter?

Yes, you can upgrade to a smart meter even if you currently have a day/night meter. Once you choose your preferred plan, you can complete the switch online. If you opt for a smart meter plan, we will contact you within a few days to move forward with your application.

What are the off-peak times for smart meters?

For most Energia smart plans, off-peak hours are between 11pm and 8am. Some plans also include ultra-low-cost charging windows, such as 2am–6am for EV charging.

I have a day/night meter, can I get a smart meter?

Yes, you can upgrade to a smart meter even if you currently have a day/night meter.
