Do you need to submit energy readings with a smart meter?

Households all across the UK are being urged to submit a meter reading before the month ends as prices go up in October.

Frazer Scott, chief executive of Energy Action Scotland, said: “This week, every household across the UK must make sure it submits a meter reading to their energy firm to avoid paying a penny more than they absolutely have to when prices go up on October 1."

However, this may not apply to all households as some people will have smart meters installed. If you have a smart meter in your house then your energy supplier will be able to read your meter automatically and bill you appropriately.
