About us

Who, Why and How?

The Smartme website is run by a small group of engineers with a wide and detailed experience of smart meters. We are independent of any external company.

When we looked around at the information available on smart meters in the UK, we found only high-level statements and no detail, so we decided to create this website to help the public with information.

We believe that smart meters are a good thing, but their roll-out could have been achieved a lot more efficiently at lower cost and lessons should have been learned from the SMETS 1 design and roll-out.

The SmartMe website is paid for by us and the only income comes from the adverts (about 50p a day currently), and so makes a loss overall. If you like what we are doing, please buy us a coffee by clicking on this link to Ko-fi.

We have also put some effort into removing offensive and fraudulent adverts, so if you see any please let us know and we'll add them to the blocked list for our website - thanks.

We have a list of improvements to the site that we are working through. Any suggestions for improvements or corrections to the site, or additional content would be gratefully received and considered. (Page updated: 2024-08-13)
