Each meter comes with an optional in-home display that allows you to see your energy usage in pounds and pence. Say goodbye to manually taking monthly meter readings and estimated bills.

Smart meters are currently being rolled out across the domestic and smaller non-domestic market over the next few years.

Do I need a smart meter to start using AEMS?

No, you do not require a smart meter to start using AEMS. The energy management system accepts consumption data gathered from both AMR devices and smart meters. Usage information provided by your supplier or meter operator can be integrated with the AEMS system.
