A smart meter tracks how much energy you use every hour of every day. It then automatically communicates this information wirelessly with a computer at your utility. The meter sends the information to your utility at least once every day.

Smart meters look like standard digital meters and fit into a standard meter base.

With a conventional meter, the utility only reads the meter once every month or two months. With a smart meter, because the data is collected much more frequently, and automatically, it is much more accurate and allows you to determine exactly when you are using your electricity. Also, because the data is collected automatically, the need to estimate bills is eliminated.
