Smart Meter Deployment Project - Customer Request Form

A smart meter is a device that digitally measures when and how much electricity you use. Benefits of smart meters are:

  • No more manual reads: Reducing the likelihood of estimated reads and estimated bills.
  • Better electricity usage insights: In MyAccount, you can now see a monthly and daily view of your usage, which is updated 48 hours after the electricity has been used. So you can now track it in (almost) real time. Register or log in to MyAccount here.
  • Cost savings: This greater level of detail means increased opportunity to identify ways to save and adjust, so you can unlock bill savings.
  • No more waiting: View cost projections against usage (in almost real time), to help forecast upcoming bills and budget. No more having to wait 3 months to know what your electricity costs will be.
  • Access to more services: Like solar and battery.
  • More reliable energy: Better detection of faults and easier monitoring of your electricity supply by your distributor, minimising electricity outages.

To request a smart meter upgrade, please have the primary account holder complete the below form.
