Almost six in 10 of those with a smart meter are “unaware” they need to move to a smart meter price plan to get the benefit of it, according to Electric Ireland’s Sustainability Index. While 63 per cent of those surveyed said they have a smart meter, only three in five of those respondents said they had moved to a smart meter plan, according to the survey. First step: Set up smart meter accountThe first step to using your smart meter to find savings is to create an account at esbnetworks.ie. Once you’ve created an account, you’ll have direct access to your usage data, as stored by your smart meter. Step three: Find the right tariffThe best tariff for you might be a smart tariff; a day/night rate, or a fixed 24-hour rate – you can use your individualised smart meter data to find out.
