Smart meters are helping to revolutionise energy for pre-pay consumers – bringing an end to estimated bills and allowing people to see how much they are spending day by day.
Energy consumers with prepayment meters are often the most vulnerable; facing barriers such as access to competitive deals, higher energy costs and hidden charges.
However, people can be helped to take control of their energy use, tackle self-disconnection and access tariffs allowing them to access cheaper prices through the use of smart pre-payment meters.
