The Government wants every home in the UK to be be fitted with smart meters by the end of 2020. http://d.yimg.com/i/ng/ne/itn/20090511/06/967885300-smart-energy-meter-plans-outlined.jpg#300,225 (http://uk.news.yahoo.com/4/20090511/video/vuk-smart-energy-meter-plans-to-be-outli-49bfa63.html)
The gadget enables consumers to keep tabs on how much energy they are using and allows suppliers to remotely record use.
Ministers are to consult over the £7 billion installation plan over the next three months.
The smart meter will give each household the autonomy to watch, assess and calculate how much energy they are using at any one time.
It also makes it easier for suppliers to work out bills without the need to send out meter readers or estimate how much the householder owes.
The Government hopes that energy use will decrease, fuel bills will drop and CO2 emissions will be slashed by up to 2.6m tonnes.
well i think this sounds like a good idea our winter bill is really bad
