1-Instead of numbers to show bars and charts

2-don’t use a lot of buttons 3- to put voice –over support

Smart Electricity Meter

Bill at each moment Charts to show the green power available from

different renewable energy resources Tips for more efficient usage Power lines which shows their usage behavior

over 24 hours

Are they safe

According to DECC all smart meters are subject to same safety program as mobile phones

Avoiding the need for each kilowatt of pick generation capacity is worth on average 94 $ per kilowatt annually .
