Smart Meters in 2m Homes Plan
In a move to cut the bills by £1 billion over ten years, British Gas is to put smart meters into two million homes. The roll-out over the next 18 months will create about 2600 jobs and spell the end of estimated readings, saving customers significant acounts.
Smart meters will encourage people to cut their power use by showing householders how much energy they are using in real time. They will also give details of carbon emissions and price. Power companies are able to take readings remotely, thus spelling the end of estimated billing.
