Smart meter owners 'save £270m collectively during lockdown' as Brits tighten spending

mirror.co.uk:

Frugal smart meter owners reckon they have saved a collective £270million since March 23rd - on energy consumption alone. A study of 2,000 adults with a smart meter found they each estimated a reduction in energy payments of £39.50 over the last three months.

This equates to £268.6million in total across the one in four UK households with smart meters. In addition, the study of both PAYG and direct debit smart meter owners, found 56 per cent are adopting many other money saving methods to get through the current financial crisis.

Savvy savers are opting to boil a kettle with just enough water for the drinks they want to make as well as unloading the car before driving to save money.
