Smart meters are advanced electricity meters that automatically record energy usage in real time and can communicate data securely to Island Energy. Unlike traditional meters, smart meters allow for two-way communication enabling a faster more responsive service.
As part of our plan to roll out smart meters Island Energy has partnered with Landis+Gyr a global leader in smart metering and grid technology to support with the installations.
Smart meters offer a range of advantages:
- A faster service, we can read the meters and make changes without coming to your home.
- Help you to better understand your energy use, with daily usage tracking via a new customer portal.
- By eliminating manual readings, smart meters reduce billing errors
- Manage and pay your bills easily through our secure online platform.
- In the event of a power outage your meter can automatically alert us, helping us respond quicker
The new meters will enable us to identify and resolve issues quicker, support the integration of future technologies like solar energy, and improve operational efficiency by reducing the need for in-person visits. All data is transmitted securely, ensuring your information remains protected.
Altogether, these advancements contribute to a more reliable, efficient, and future-ready energy service for our community, and is scheduled to launch early 2026. More details will be shared over the coming months.
