How Smart Submetering Works

Smart submetering works by installing advanced meters on individual circuits or supply lines within a building, allowing businesses to monitor energy usage in specific areas — such as departments, machinery, or tenant spaces — in real-time. Your business can benefit from Smart submetering in these ways:

  • Centralised Data Platform: Consumption data is transmitted to a secure, cloud-based dashboard for easy access and analysis.
  • Usage Insights: Businesses can view detailed trends, spot inefficiencies, and benchmark performance across sites or departments.
  • Cost Control: Enables accurate cost allocation and budgeting by tracking actual consumption.
  • Billing Accuracy: Supports fair, transparent billing for tenants or internal departments based on real usage, not estimates.
  • Supports Sustainability: Helps businesses reduce waste, improve efficiency and report on ESG and carbon reduction targets.

The Renew and Sustain team, particularly Joe Edwards, took the time to get to know our business energy needs. He and Dani even took the time to visit our factory even though it’s 150 miles from their base.

I spoke to Martin Perry when looking to renew my Electricity supplier. Martin was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. He was not at all pushy (which is often the case with utility brokers) and was happy that I do things at my pace.

Gillian Hilton

Frequently Asked Questions about Smart Submetering

Hand holding a glowing light bulb with an energy efficiency rating scale

Smart submetering is the installation of advanced meters within a building to monitor energy usage by individual areas, units, or tenants. Unlike the main utility meter, a smart submeter provides granular insights into specific parts of the property. These meters use digital technology to collect and transmit energy data in real time or at regular intervals, enabling detailed monitoring, usage analytics, and cost allocation.

Yes, smart submetering is fully compliant with UK energy regulations, including the Heat Network (Metering and Billing) Regulations and building performance reporting requirements under MEES (Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards). It supports compliance by providing accurate consumption data and enabling fair billing practices.

Absolutely. Smart submeters can be retrofitted into most existing buildings with minimal disruption. A professional assessment is usually carried out to determine the best placement and integration with the current infrastructure, ensuring seamless functionality and compliance.

Smart submetering provides visibility into where and how energy is used. Ultimately, it supports energy-saving strategies that lead to lower operational costs. With this data, building managers can:

  • Identify inefficiencies
  • Detect abnormal consumption patterns
  • Encourage energy-conscious behaviour among tenants
  • Allocate costs fairly and accurately

Yes, smart submeters enable accurate, transparent and auditable tenant billing based on actual usage rather than estimates or floor area. This improves tenant satisfaction and reduces billing disputes while ensuring landlords recover energy costs fairly.

Absolutely. Smart submeters generate precise energy data essential for Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) reporting. They support sustainability targets by providing measurable insights into energy consumption, helping organisations demonstrate efficiency improvements and carbon reduction initiatives.

Costs vary depending on factors such as the number of submeters required, building size, and existing electrical infrastructure. As a rough guide, installations can range from £200–£500 per submeter, excluding system integration and data platform access. Renew and Sustain offers tailored quotes following a site assessment to ensure cost-effective, scalable solutions.
