The days of having someone knock on the door to read the meter will soon be a distant memory due to smart meters. What is a smart meter and why get one? Smart meters Smart meters send meter readings from the house directly to the energy supplier, so users don’t need to answer the door to a meter reader and readings are always up to date, meaning users can wave goodbye to estimated bills and only pay for the energy they use. In other words, a smart meter is just like a traditional gas an...

The concept could not be simpler: they have something the neighbor needs. Company sells it to them and they are both better off. While simple, this concept was, up until recently, foreign to the energy sector. The options were to either consume their own energy or feed it into the grid. So-called energy communities could bring the revolution that is needed to normalize sharing in energy. In theory, an energy community is a collective of participants that are energy consumers and/or producers. I...
