What is smart meters?

Smart meters are electronic devices that record information such as consumption of electric energy, voltage levels, current, and power factor. They communicate this data back to the utility company for monitoring and billing. Smart meters typically support two-way communication between the meter and the central system. They are used for more accurate billing, real-time monitoring of energy consumption, and enabling demand response programs.
