Great to hear you’re thinking of joining us!
Fixed tariffs are not smart mandatory, and there is no requirement to have a smart meter in order to sign up to them. By signing up, you are giving us consent to contact you about having a smart meter installed. installation of smart meters would be our preference, but we do not force install smart meters.
You can find out more by getting a quote here and checking out the ‘Extended Terms and Conditions’ for the chosen plan.
If you need convincing we’ve done some smart meter myth-busting over here and outlined why we think smart meters are so smart over here. Hope this helps you in deciding whether to make the smart upgrade, but either way we’d be happy to have you on-board!
