But what are the benefits of smart meters for businesses?\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Save energy and money<\/strong>\u202f&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A smart meter will give you detailed information about how your business is using energy for every half hour of the day. This makes it easier to identify any areas where you may be wasting energy \u2013 helping you to reduce how much energy you are using and cut your costs in the process.\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Save time and get accurate bills<\/strong>\u202f&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Smart meters automatically send meter readings to your energy supplier, meaning you don\u2019t have to remember to provide regular meter readings.\u202fThis means that every bill you receive will be based on accurate data \u2013 helping you to budget more easily.\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Help the environment<\/strong>\u202f&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As smart meters send your energy supplier information about your energy usage as frequently as every half hour, they give the grid a clearer picture of energy usage across the country.\u202fNot only does this help to prevent power cuts by balancing out supply and demand, it also helps to increase the amount of renewables in the country\u2019s fuel mix.\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At Good Energy, our in-house trading team strive to match our customers\u2019 energy usage with renewable energy for every hour of the day. Getting a real-time picture of energy usage helps us to do this more successfully. We balance out gaps to supply the grid with renewable power equal to your total electricity usage over the year.\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Use your data<\/strong>\u202f&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You could use the data collected by your smart meter to create an energy management plan for your business.\u202f This will help you to identify what processes are using the most energy, what could be switched off, and what could be replaced with a more energy efficient solution. An energy management plan is a simple way to help you to cut your carbon emissions.\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Be part of a smarter future<\/strong>\u202f&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As we move out of the energy crisis, we will start offering smart\u202ftime of use tariffs,\u202fwhich have cheaper rates at off-peak times to encourage you to shift your usage. New ideas are also being trialled where energy companies\u202freward customers\u202ffor reducing their energy consumption during peak times.\u202f\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To be part of these initiatives, you will need a smart meter so your energy company can monitor how you are using energy throughout the day.\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As part of the national smart meter roll out, the government wants every business and household in Britain to have&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":1747,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[12,11],"class_list":["post-1745","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-large-business","category-small-business"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>benefits of smart meters for businesses | Good Energy for Business<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"As part of the national smart meter roll out, the government wants every business and household in Britain to have a smart meter installed.
