Smart Meter
A smart meter is an advanced type of utility meter that records energy consumption in real-time and communicates this information directly to the utility provider. Here are some key features and benefits:
Real-Time Monitoring: Smart meters provide real-time data on energy usage, allowing consumers to monitor their consumption more closely.
Automatic Readings: They automatically send meter readings to the utility provider, eliminating the need for manual readings.
Accurate Billing: With precise data, smart meters ensure more accurate billing based on actual usage rather than estimates.
Energy Management: They help consumers manage their energy use more efficiently by providing insights into consumption patterns.
Outage Detection: Smart meters can quickly detect outages and help utility companies respond more rapidly.
Environmental Benefits: By promoting energy efficiency, smart meters contribute to reducing carbon footprints.
Smart meters are part of the broader smart grid technology, which aims to enhance the efficiency and reliability of electricity distribution.
Wetherby (/ˈwɛðəbi/ WETH-ə-bee)[2] is a market town and civil parish in the City of Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. It is close to West Yorkshire county's border with North Yorkshire, and lies approximately 12 miles (19 kilometres) from Leeds City Centre, 12 mi (19 km) from York and 8 mi (13 km) from Harrogate. The town stands on the River Wharfe, and for centuries has been a crossing place and staging post on the Great North Road midway between London and Edinburgh.
Wetherby Bridge, which spans the River Wharfe, is a Scheduled Ancient Monument and a Grade II listed structure.[3] The course of the Old Great North Road passes through the town and, as result of its situation on the road, as well as being a major cattle droving route from Scotland to London, many coaching inns were established in Wetherby which are still used by travellers today.
The town sits in the Wetherby ward of Leeds City Council and the Wetherby and Easingwold parliamentary constituency. It was listed in the 2018 Sunday Times report on Best Places to Live in northern England.[4]
