What is a smart meter?

A smart meter is an advanced version of a traditional gas/electricity meter that automatically sends us readings[5] either half-hourly, daily or monthly. If you prefer, you can still submit your own readings, it’s up to you. As we move towards a greener future, traditional energy meters are being phased out and smart meters are being installed in homes across Great Britain at no extra cost to customers.

You need to be a ScottishPower smart meter customer and have a communicating smart meter.

The savings value presented is based on a 5% reduction in gas and electricity use for a customer on a tariff covered by Ofgem’s energy price cap, who pays by Direct Debit, with Ofgem’s average annual energy usage for a typical household in Britain (2,700kWh single rate electricity & 11,500kWh gas use) prior to using the Energy Insights tool. We refer to a 5% reduction in energy use as this represents the average energy savings made by a sample of customers who had a smart meter installed and provided consent to sharing half hourly smart meter data and used the Energy Insights tool at least 3 times between May to July 2021 and May to July 2022.

To be part of Power Saver events, you must be an electricity customer with a communicating smart meter and consent to sharing half-hourly readings with us. Exclusions apply. See Terms and Conditions.

Electricity used will be charged at your normal unit rate and you will later have your bill credited for the energy you used. The credit is calculated as half of your electricity unit rate (excluding VAT) and will show as ‘Power Saver Credit’ on your bill. Your daily standing charge will be paid at your normal rate. See Terms and Conditions.

There may be times when we are unable to communicate with your meter and we would need to rely on an estimate.
