Smart Meter Data

What are the Smart Meters?

Smart meters are the next generation of electricity
meters. Using digital technology and the 2G mobile
phone network, the smart meter will give you access
to accurate information on your energy usage
throughout the day and significantly reduce the
need for estimated bills.

ESB Networks is replacing 2.4 million
electricity meters in homes, farms, and businesses across Ireland with next-generation meters.
This new technology which is already in use in over 500 million premises worldwide will bring
benefits to customers, the environment, and the economy.

When will the replacement programme be completed?

The programme is being delivered on a phased regional basis and was planned to be completed
in 2024. ESB began installations in autumn 2019 and by January 2021 approximately 245,000
smart meters were installed. As of January 2021, the deployment of the smart meter was
temporarily stopped due to Covid 19 restrictions so the rollout is expected to take longer than
originally stated.
