Manx Utilities says its now installed more than 2,500 smart meters on Island.

The first phase of the rollout involved Manx Utilities’ 8,000 prepayment customers having their ‘key’ electricity meter replaced with a smart meter.

Chair of Manx Utilities Tim Johnston says the move can 'definitely help' the Island’s drive towards lower emissions.

Smart meters are currently being installed in Ramsey, with Onchan and Douglas to follow.

The board adds it's hoped all prepayment customers will have had their key meter upgraded with a smart meter by spring 2023.
