Smart metering in UK homes and businesses is a key pillar of the UK’s journey to net zero. It supports energy suppliers in all aspects of their business and allows UK energy consumers to reduce their energy usage and costs.

Smart meters help energy consumers to monitor their energy consumption at a detailed level to let them manage and reduce their energy usage and costs. Smart meters help energy suppliers to understand their customers’ needs better, allowing them to manage their forecasting, billing, and customer service in a more responsive way.

ESG’s ‘uSmart’ smart metering platform is the foundation of the UK’s smart metering infrastructure. It is the most popular software underpinning the Data Communications Company (DCC) that administers the nationwide smart metering scheme.
