Smart Meter Benefits
The upgrade of smart meters in Ireland represents a step change in how individual customers and businesses can manage their electricity more efficiently while impacting positively on the environment.
Below are some of the key benefits of having a smart meter:
Your ESB Networks Online Account
With an account, you can view your smart meter usage data and use it on price comparison websites to find the electricity tariff that best suits your needs.
Smart tariffs for cost savings
Smart meters are enabling electricity supply companies to offer new smarter energy products and services. These services give more choice and allow you to move some of your consumption to times of the day when electricity is cheaper.
Begin Your Low Carbon Journey
The upgrade to a smart meter also allows you to receive payment for any excess electricity you sell to the grid from solar panels. That’s because a smart meter can record what you send onto the grid and enables you to be paid.
A greener, more sustainable Ireland
Every smart meter helps us all become more energy efficient and environmentally friendly as we work towards a carbon cleaner electric future. Smart meters will help to facilitate the development of Ireland’s growing renewable generation, smart grids and the electrification of transport and heat.
Potential for reducing energy usage
Smart metering technology can help us all to manage how and when electricity is being used in Ireland, so that the right amount is produced at the right time, from the right sources. This will help us lower our carbon emissions and reduce costs.
Faster, enhanced customer service
The upgrade to smart meters will allow ESB Networks to find faults quicker and manage the network more efficiently. It also enables you to switch electricity supplier and move premises more easily.
