All manually-read electricity meters in Victoria are going to be replaced with new remotely read interval ‘smart meters'. This government led initiative is bringing about an exciting new era for the energy industry, consumers of energy, and the chance to approach future environmental challenges in an innovative way.

This world leading technology will ultimately empower you to better manage your energy needs, cut carbon emissions and will help increase retail competition...and as customers we all know retail competition creates better deals in the long term!

Victoria is the first state in Australia to implement the extensive roll-out of smart meters. Covering 2.2 million homes and 300,000 businesses, this is a huge and momentous task, representing one of the biggest improvements to energy infrastructure in our state's history.

It also represents the biggest investment in energy infrastructure in Victoria since the establishment of the ‘poles and wires network'. It is a vital step towards future smart electricity grids, which we need so that more renewable energy can be fed into the grid.
