The Future Smart Energy Consumer study looks at how technology and our quest to be more sustainable will change our home lives in 2035. Hydroponic gardens will be popular, using smart meter enabled settings to control heat and energy use to provide the perfect environment for growing herbs and plants. "There will be more renewable energy from wind and solar, widespread use of electric cars and less reliance on oil, gas and coal for energy generation. Smart bracelets are also predicted to monitor health, while changes in energy consumption patterns could help indicate other health issues. "And it's so good to know that, just by taking the small step of getting a smart meter installed, I have contributed to making this future possible for them and for other generations too."
