Flexibility & smart energy

Smart meters not only make it easier to manage your energy – they can also help you cut your bills.

Here’s how smart meters help our customers pay less:



Smart meter customers can track their energy in near real time using either an In-home display (IHD) or our cutting-edge Octopus Home Mini.

These can also help you understand how, when, and where you can make more energy-efficient choices to save money.
