Swansea City AFC Foundation is a delivery partner of this year’s Smart Energy GB in Communities programme. We have put together information below to provide information on smart meters and support and resources available.

What is a smart meter?

A smart meter is a device that records how much electricity and/or gas your household is using. It is very similar to existing meters, but smart meters come with an in-home display (IHD) which allows customers to see how much energy they are using. This means that customers can keep track of their energy and understand how much various devices are costing them. 

How do smart meters work?

With a smart meter you can wave goodbye to estimated billing. The smart meter shows a digital meter reading and uses a secure smart data network (managed by the DCC) to automatically and wirelessly send the readings to your energy supplier at least once a month, so you will receive accurate, not estimated bills. 

Why should you get a smart meter?

• They help you manage your energy costs
• You'll be helping to reduce our carbon footprint as a nation

Swans Foundation is currently offering a range of sessions to provide support and guidance surrounding energy costs and smart meters. If you would like to speak about smart meters and where you can go to get one, we can arrange a one-to-one session to talk things through with you. Please contact us via robin@swansfoundation.org.uk
