Northampton-based Opus Energy Ltd, a leading electricity supplier to small and medium size enterprises, has announced a £5 million upgrade programme that will see it provide new energy-saving smart meters free of charge to all its customers. The smart meters will enable Opus to take real-time meter readings remotely, saving the customer the hassle of needing to submit their own meter readings and ensuring that bills are more accurate than ever before. Figures released by The Carbon Trust state that smart meter technology has the potential to save UK SMEs £300m every year. In addition, a possible 5.1 million tonnes of CO2 could be saved annually. Charlie Crossley Cooke, managing director of Opus Energy, said: “This is a significant investment for us, but we feel strongly that when this type of technology is available, with so many benefits for our customers, it should be provided free of charge.”
